jeez...my first post in a while and the conspiracy theories are already coming on strong. sorry bili...i have no special access to mls. just a regular guy like you. btw....you wagered that the median prices would be yoy negative for july. look…

Hey guys...been super busy! Business has quadrupled for me so I hardly have time to breath. But I did see this: Prices have a hit a new peak...I can't believe it! SFH at $481K!!! Housing Prices in Western Washington Still Rising Despite Few…

Hi Tim...I run a dozen web sites and I can tell you that cheap hosting ain't worth it. Get a host with a service guarantee...otherwise your site will be down more often then not.

bili...you're really off on the pricing. With the actual median price 19K higher then your estimate, I think we can conclude that your model is seriously flawed. I suppose you could try and buy a house today and tell the seller he's "required" to…

Hi DJ, April #s show that pending condo sales for Seattle are up YOY 17%! And prices are up YOY 6% for Seattle and a whopping 19% for the whole county. Condos are most defintly Hot, Hot, Hot :!:

Ah, the old "Meshugy has a split personality" theory! Thanks for more entertaining conspiracy theories guys! Reading these is like watching a cat chase it's own tail!

Inventory is still very tight by historical standards. KC Res April 2007: 7,649 KC Res April 2004: 7,637 KC Res April 2003: 8,856 KC Res April 2002: 7,639 So we're in for the sort of correction we saw in those years, which was zilch. …

The difference is equity...and in the case of Seattle over the last few years, lots of it! Also, as an owner you get to choose when are were you move. As a renter you're at the mercy of your landlord. Big difference....I don't think you'll convi…

Who has a 10, 20, or 30 year lease? I rented for over ten years and had to move every 1-3 years for some reason or another. Higher rents, place got sold, etc. Most of my friends who rent have the same problem....very rare that people rent the same p…

As I figured...area 380 bounced back this month. SFH Median is now $405K...up from $375K last month. As I said....March was an anomaly for 380. The latest April MLS #s show all of Seattle is overheating with sales activity and price increases.

Also...closed sales are up YOY in every single Seattle neighborhood except Queen Anne/Magnolia (area 700). First # is April 2007, second is April 2006. Area 710: 120 93 705: 195 181 700: 65 70 390: 100 82 385: 30 24 380: …

Sorry, area 380 is Madrona/Leshci. 98105 is Laurelhurst which is area 710 on the MLS map. Whats does altos say about Madrona? SFH in Laurelhurst appreciated 6.5% in March.

I would never tell someone to buy a house to "make money." The problem with this article is that he totally skirts the quality of life issue with renting. That's what 90% of people want when they buy. The security of owning your own home. When you h…
