I actually visited that house. It has a nice view of Lake Sammamish out of the window in that picture. The original owners lived there until they died. It is now vacant and in need of updating. It has a very 1960's feel to it. It seems like a nice h…

I remember the last time that shuffleboard house was on the market. I kind of liked the house...

The images above look like garbage to me. Is that what others are seeing?

Unfortunately, RE agents don't get to collect 6% of the cost of your restaurant meals... They could get jobs as waiters and get 10-20% of my restaurant meals.

It kind of looks like the housing price graph. Seriously though, it might be interesting to graph forclosures per capita.

That 10% might have just been in that GM's org.

Buy companies with water rights. I used to own Budweiser for that purpose, but they were purchased by a foreign company. Coca-Cola might be a good bet. If water becomes a bubble, the US might take nationalize some of it in the interests of …

It also creates a default scenario where the rent is raised on renewal. You get the same price, but you don't get the same bonus.

I think part 2 of selling the house is going to come out after the house is out of her hands. It would be a mistake to talk about any problems she is having with the market. It would greatly erode any negotiating power she might have. It might al…

That is just a way for them to lower the rent without publishing a lower rent. Publishing lower rent prices encourages everyone else to lower rent prices too.

I've seen media speculation that foreclosures would be lower in December due to government intervention and the weather.

People will always compare the cost of buying a home to the rents on offer at THE TIME they are considering making the purchase. That isn't necessarily true. People may compare the historical cost of buying a home to the historical cost of re…

- You could try to buy the house on the courthouse steps. - You could try to contact the bank to prenegotiate rent in case they get the property. - Ask your current landlord about your security deposit. I think they are legally required to put it …

Be sure to advertise 3% to the buyer's agent. Or make it 4% if you want to attract more attention.

Load up the back of a small pickup with snow and you are good to go in the snow.

Is parquet the new hardwood? Butter!

This 1000 sqft 2/2 Greenlake condo is asking $1100/month. For only $800 extra you can get 150 more sqft. http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/apa/980423801.html

I would be surprised to see that rent for $1900. But then I don't know the Greenlake market. Around Microsoft you can find stuff on craigslist for aroung $1/sqft to rent. That place is only 1250 square feet. I bet they are pricing it to cov…

Yes. King County. And just Notice of Trustee Sales. Not fully realized foreclosures.

Advertised rents are going to be on the high side of the market for the simple fact that low prices disappear and high prices are readvertised.
-
Well, real estate is only down 10% while the stock market is down 30-40%. Tell me which would have been the better purchase in 2006? Granted, leverage would kill most people in real estate, but if you purchased with cash then you would be better …
-
Assuming buy/rent ratio was closer to historical norms, I would buy.
-
Maybe the money they are asking for is really a "finders fee" and isn't applied to the sale price on the house.
-
but I also refuse to pay any sort of rent Are you willing to pay rent on money?

In seattle currently there seems to be a lot more demand for one bedrooms and studios than larger apartments / rented condos / small houses. I have a neighbor who just rented a bunch of units and the $1200 one bed units are full, but only one of the…

RobRoy was the forum bubble and you missed that gravy train, DJO.

Mack has stated repeatedly that the opinions of Bubble-bloggers are simply the useless musings of amateurs At what point do The Tim's writings go from amateur musings to professional opinion? Do his past posts change retroactively?

I'm a renter and I think I need a bailout. Who are you to tell me that I don't?

I'm not sure that would allow banks to profit on existing loans. What about "helping" people who decided the most responsible action was to rent instead of buying a house?
