The champagne website is a hoot: "Celebrate life in the heart of Bellevue, just steps from the boutique shops, fine dining and entertainment of the Crossroads Mall" I don't know what Crossroads mall they are talking about. The one that I know …

SeattleMoose - every single neighbourhood in Seattle proper is within the blocks of "da hood". Belltown, for example. What I find interesting about this thread is that nobody is talking about the jobs available. When I was younger living in a big…

I could believe that the builder could pull this off if anybody could. Their costs on 500k would come out around 2.5k, and if they were selling the places for what you say then they probably built them for less. Whether this is a money making mov…

Wow. It really burns my hide to see this, when I consider that I have virtually no CC debt but I feel like I cannot afford a house.

http://www.redfin.com/WA/Redmond/7905-1 ... override=1 Purchased in 2006 for $450k and listed for $375k. Almost exactly 1/6th of the value removed in 2 years.

They at least have interesting postmodern architecture, but I don't know how good the value is. If I were you I would be concerned about the following: a) No prices on the website. Are they trying to hide something or just incompetent? b) No …

And please post the results here. I have often dabbled in the thought of building my own place. The stress sounds horrible, but the idea of having everything the way I want it is awesome.

Tosoni's $$$$ - Expensive but very much worth it IMO. Euro style dining. Oobas $ - Cheap good mexican food. Sushi Ten $$ - Great sushi joint in Bellevue

I found this article interesting, because I am a transplant myself (from Australia about 8 years ago). I must say that I have never noticed the phenomenon in the article. Then again, almost all of my friends I met through work. I have met a few o…

Alan, How do I distinguish a deal from a lemon from a GEM?

I often wonder whether the people who make these statements really believe them or not. Ira - if you read this, I would love to have your insight. Why does it appear that so few real estate agents are willing to make predictions with such strong …

The main thing that shocked me was the sheer number of price changes. I have seen prices go up and down before, but not 25 of them on a single listing!

I meant to post about this too Alan. I watched it and thought of the SB crowd, they would have loved it.

I think that it is standard practice to include finished basement sq ft. But it needs to be to code (which many basements finished by DIYers are not). Every new house from local builders that has a basement finished includes it in the sq ft, and …

Don't loose your mind over it.

LOL. I hope to move back there some day, so I need to keep an eye on it. Australia had a bubble before the US did, so we should learn from it.

Thanks Ira - I would be very interested in what you find out. This particular listing did not even change the pictures, which made it easy to tell that it was a relist.

Sorry Markor - when you try to say that your home is new on the market, and it has been on the market for months, you are lying. It would be trivial for the NWMLS to change their rules to prevent this unethical behavior. Let them add a new field …
