  • Having Microsoft stated as an employer of two years (or more) on a mortgage application has considerable weight. I don't suggest changing jobs unless a great opportunity comes along you want to take. After you get into a home, you can do whatever …
  • Looks like the owner got into personal hardship and now sale of home. Those who purchased at 05-07 prices and have to sell 08 are gonna take a beating. We can't predict life or the housing market, some of us keep trying.
  • I'd be interested but it doesn't mention having a "generator"! I did drive to see it, really amazing view once you climb the steep driveway. What I saw that was a shame was a long line of abandoned old rusted working trucks bumper to bumper on the…
  • Fool On The Hill (The Beatles) Day after day, alone on the hill, The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still. But nobody wants to know him, They can see that he's just a fool. And he never gives an answer ..... But the fool…
  • zestimate is as good as a guesstimate. guestimate - an estimate that combines reasoning with guessing. Or from the Zillow's mouth; "The Zestimate (pronounced ZEST-ti-met, rhymes with estimate) home valuation is Zillow's estimated market val…
  • I wouldn't go as far and say "Redmond homes still selling like hot cakes?". This home has a great location and nicely updated with new roof, white solid core doors, Milgard windows, Stainless fridge, new GE oven, custom built-ins, new skylights. O…

  • I enjoyed Meet the Press and watching Tim interview his guests. Wonderful books written, Big Russ and Me in 2004 and Wisdom of Our Fathers: Lessons and Letters ... - 2006. He had just returned from a family vacation in Italy, where he went to cele…
  • Lax, This is a great post and sheds some useful insight on shopping for a lender. Getting pre-approved for a mortgage gives a buyer confidence in dealing with an agent and seller. Question, say you get approved for 400K and find a house for 350K …
  • Ahhhh, the combination of Cape Cod, NW Lodge and Stucco. Makes me tingle with yuk. Markor, the amount you might save from a heavy discount would be swallowed up to redo it. Especially if you had to sell!
  • Any word on how this went? I'd be interested to know, might be the future of FSBO.
  • Mike, thanks for sharing your story. Best wishes to your family members. Uber, is this Bubblematch.com? :shock: Could be The Tim's next venture!

  • Yes I did! :roll:
  • The black siding makes it look unfinished. And the power hook up is unexceptable. Location may sell it at this price, over time. :?
  • The down payment used when purchasing a house is no longer "rolling equity". When the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 became law you don't have to buy another home with your sale proceeds. You can use the money to travel to Europe in style, buy an RV a…
  • You start with a base of income (3x) to purchase price. Purchase price above that determines the amount of down payment one has. Looking at the average income of $63,500 or lets round up; Sea/Bell income of $100k with an average of 100K down is s…

  • Remember this posted by Faster - June 2007 Well it's Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! No one took the "permit offer" so they did it the remodel and jacked the price up 630K! (They just took the house off the MLS tonight, probably to reprice.) $1,1…
  • And check out the 787's handy cockpit. Holster for your favorite choice of protection, reclining seats for those long trips when you want a snooze, a wet bar to quench your thirst, and a dance floor to shake your jiggy! Golly, is this why airfare …

  • I love the sturdy steps off the slider door. For 835K I would expect more :roll: Makes one wonder where else they skimped hence "sold as is".
  • http://www.redfin.com/WA/Monroe/544-Sim ... me/2476853 Aug 01, 2007 $240,000 - Todays asking price $349,000 Does this remodel justify $109,000 gain in just 10 months? At least they could have redone the driveway! In Monroe you can buy new …
  • We will be seeing the last of the "flippers" desperately trying to sell to cover their remodeling costs. Most got carried away with all the advertisements of "bigger is better". Many will lose money (a lot) from now on. Is it worth the price? No…
  • The worst part about this kitchen, no lighting! One single fixture in a vaulted ceiling? I can just imagine coming home at 5pm on a winter night and fixing dinner with no light to work by. And it looks like a bowling alley! The bones of the home…
  • SoCalXplant "doesn't have to be too close to Seattle, but we prefer the Sound area, and hope to find something with a nice view -- water, mountains, or both...." I've lived on the Eastside (Bellevue) for 45 years with a brief stay in Bremerton…
