And in the interest of undersampling hyperbola: Last Friday was the first of February. On Friday, 42 NTS were recorded. On 2/1/2007, 12 NTS were recorded. That starts February out at +350% YOY. Historically, more NTS are recorded on Frid…

Final 1/08 KC NTS count: 429 +62% YOY

They charge $1000 for their information packet.

I doubt it. There are so many open positions within Microsoft that they can't find people to find. Any cuts from groups overlapping with Yahoo will be easily absorbed by other groups. "Too many qualified workers" is not a problem Microsoft has.

huh?

I do not believe there is any honor in agreements between corporations and people. An agreement is only as good as the ability of one side to enforce that agreement. Person to person agreements can sometimes be enforced socially. If you default on t…

Say that large scale RE holdings force a bank to go under. I wonder what sort of discount that RE would sell for. Would it be possible for a buyer to pick up a huge RE portfolio at ten cents on the dollar?

Businesses have been making cold, calculated financial decisions in a honor-vacuum for decades. Is it no surprise that individuals and consumers have learned to adapt to the new marketplace? This is economic survival of the fittest at its finest.

I'm placing my bets on deejayoh's analysis. And I'll lean towards the first estimate assuming that variations in the current trend are noise in the first model.

Sigh. People who say they don't recognize the bad arguments that they are using are either trolls or simply ignorant. In either case, I am ejecting from the this thread. But in the event that the latter is the situation, I leave you with th…

It doesn't matter what the wrongdoers say though. They need not confess that what they did is wrong. We imprison pedophiles even if they insist that molesting kids is right. We do that because we believe that they know that it's wrong, regardless wh…

If you punished someone long enough they might also admit that speaking out against the government is wrong. So what?

I think that orgs dumb enough to make that many bad loans will also be dumb enough to not figure out the correct expected value of pursuing after delinquencies. But then I'm feeling awfully cynical these days.

In a foreclosure, the land is required to go to public auction to ensure that the foreclosee gets a fair market value for the property. Joe, being familiar with the land, went to the auction and bid against other people and won. The same thing happe…

In the state where this story occurred, primary residences are protected from deficiency judgements. Had the foreclosed proparty been a primary residence then Joe could not have pursued a deficiency judgement even if Sam had other assets. I think th…

I disagree. I don't think real estate is liquid enough to always trigger bidding wars. If you are not pressured to sell, I think a seller is better off asking slightly higher than the market rate and then accepting a lower price through negotiation.…

The market is not down. So Ardell thinks we have not reached the bottom yet and that sellers will need to lower their prices.

Seismic activity could also trigger a tsunami. I saw a show years ago positing the cooccurence of a volcano eruption and tsunami hitting Seattle. I swore at that time that I would never live here.

In my defense, I thought maybe I should use a 'k' there when writing it, but was too lazy to go back and change it. Plus its just a forum on the internetz so who cares. Actually, that defense doesn't sound like it is doing a whole lot for me.

But so many of the salespeople drank the cool aid and bought heavily into the market themselves that a drop would hurt them more than increased volume would help.

faster, That is one of the reasons why I am a proponent of some sort of national health care plan. Canada's program doesn't work very well, but Austrailia's does. Everyone should at least have an insurance company to negotiate for them. I saw …

Yep. There is a three month delay between the notice and the sale at auction. A lot can happen to the property status in that time. KC records have only been posting 250-300 foreclosure sale notices each month. That means at any one time there is a …

I financed my last car, but only because the interest rate is some ungodly low number.

But Congress is as much to blame as the President, if even more so. What happens if you do the partitioning based on who is in control of Congress.

We also were denied about 8-10 rental houses because we've owned a house before and could buy again -- landlords would rather rent to those they know will continue to rent. Weird. I've owned before but never had a problem getting someone to r…
