I was about to post on the same topic. Either they are being covered more closely, or they are occuring more often, but there seems to a rash of these lately...

Same here Cheap. At least 3 new cars in the last month in my neighborhood of rentals.

As the article mentions, the same company did the Bremerton condo auction. The reserve price was not revealed, and not a single high bid met the reserve. Only 18 of 28 made it into closing, and I'm too lazy to look at how many actually closed. …

Exactly Deej, it's like he's averaging averages... The guy is an economist and he works in realty...spin away! Sniglet, I agree. I think we all have seen the memos from Microsoft temp agencies who are lowing wages 10% for existing, and even m…

Wow, look at that properties history. Good point, bottoms up folks! And yeah, they couldn't have started in a worse neighborhood. Even in my decent neighborhood of new homes, of which I am renting one, I am watching them sit foreclosed or vacan…

They started posting on Craig's list a while back, which for a 'luxury' builder, I thought was odd. Norris made a lot of money on the way up, but they are falling just as hard. Sad thing is, even as banks are starting to takes homes back, they a…

haha, it was ok for the media to help them pump up prices on the way up, but now that the entire economy is faling it's the media's fault for reporting on the slide. That's almost like saying 'We'd rather the people not be informed so that we can…

Thanks Mukoh, that's what we finally did today. Ridiculous that it had to get to that point because our offer wasn't outlandish. I've negotiated numerous contracts in the millions and never had this much trouble...I had to bite my tongue when she …

No, my agent just works in the same office as the listing agent, but of course that shouldn't be a factor as she is my agent, not the banks. Jon, the bank is actively working on the house. Electricians are out today in fact.

Good question Sniglet, I guess I'm assuming that if an agent is not willing to represent my offer that would disqualify them from any future interest in me and this property. Thanks Ira, I appreciate the feedback. The realtor has stated that t…

kporn and Allan, good catches. The conversation with this builder was amazing as it all started with them advertsing zero down, no PMI, low interest financing. Out of curiousity I asked about it, and after looking at a house was told by their agen…

Speaking as someone who grew up in Port Orchard, I have heard since birth about increased ferry service and some type of bridge/tunnel only to watch the state quash the new ferries and slow down existing Seattle/Bremerton routes as a result of cost …

I heard the same thing from another high-end builder: I like to remind them to think about how long they are planning on living in this home. Most often, buyers are on a 5-8 year schedule. Many would say that I'm just a self serving builder by …
