8/1 - 8/7: 134 8/8- 8/14: 109 8/15 - 8/21: 125 8/22 - 8/28: 170 8/29 - 8/31: 36 It looks like they processed the largest number the week before the labor day weekend and slacked off the second week. Maybe June and July were better for sell…

Two years ago PAX was in Bellevue and it was ridiculously packed. You could barely move. Seriously. So the next year they streched out and got the entire Seattle Convention Center and it was comfortably full and active. This year they got even…

Yep. 7/1/2008 - 7/31/2008: 728 How long does a homeowner need to be delinquent before a NTS is filed?

Assets are a consequence of income. Actually, income is a consquence of assets. Someone with $2M in assets should be able to earn $100k-300k on those assets without "working". Assets can be inheirited or 'found' (as in a lottery or being o…

Mike, We get a lot more posts from new users that are spam than legitimate users joining up. Please don't be offended.

At least their "how much can you afford" calculator is reasonable.

If your family is earning $80k and are saving properly for retirement then you should be living a lower middle class lifestyle. A lower middle class person can own a plasma television and a BMW if they are willing to turn their retirement savings…

What percentage of people/households in seattle do you think are upper middle class (~$300K)? Maybe 0.5%
-
Middle middle class if you are single. Lower middle class if you are married with children. Upper middle class earns around $300k. If you earn more than $300k then you are upper class.

From http://www.metrokc.gov/kcscc/copies.htm#online King County Superior Court Records filed after November 1, 2004, are now available online for purchase and viewing. Currently we offer Criminal, Civil and Probate cases. You CANNOT view Domest…

I think you use the weight of the flatness to determine its value.

Let me ask you a few questions. 1) Would you buy an investment today for $300k that paid back $18k annually if you thought it would sell for $250k in a year? 2) Would the answer to #1 make a difference if the investment was real estate or a stoc…

I see what a lot of (what seems to me to be) bad thinking about investments in this area. People think that time erases bad investments. I see a lot of arguments for buying negative cash flow properties today and just waiting until they cash flow an…

Niuska, Investors here are willing to accept a lower rate of return that you are. Will that change? I have no idea.

Life is dangerous and not fair. Maybe you shouldn't be driving if you worry so much about bad things happening. Or maybe you should get a prescription for some anti-anxiety medication.

I like to think of it as a metric of people in fiancial distress.

We should invite her to join in the conversation about her. She also owns an investment condo (which was an apartment conversion). She had a couple of fantastic experience in real estate investment and decided to double-down at the peak. Still, s…

My pleasure, Jillayne. Just remember that these are estimates. Not all of them are foreclosures (although I think the vast majority of them are). WA has judicial and non-judicial foreclosures. I think the NTS are non-judicial -- they are the easi…

The percent increases are so dramatic for that reason, but these are the highest foreclosure rates I've seen in the time periods for which I done searches. I would guess that goes back around ten years.

Central air should probably have a maintenance checkup once a year too. It isn't a big expense but it is still there.

7/1/2006-7/31/2006: 264 But prices were rising then. It was easy to avoid foreclosure proceedings (either by refinancing and using equity gain to pay your mortgage or by selling).
-
Unauction.... Is that where they lower their prices a lot and then slowly raise then to create a takeaway?
-
I think those predictions sound pretty reasonable.
-
Not in Seattle. No way. Who can argue with that kind of logic? No, really. You can't argue with it because there is nothing there to argue against. You can contradict it but then Mr. McManus can just contradict you right back and then you …

If fast charging/discharging battery technology becomes available, the power system can add these batteries throughout the grid to help hand peak power demands.

The model I think it follows is an inversely damped (actively driven?)spring where the driving force is a monotonic function of how long an upward or downward trend continues. The shape of the driving function mimics a population s-curve so that at …
-
I think it is an accurate model. Supply/Demand equilibrium is not that different from the physical equilibrium of a spring. When prices are going up, speculation and fear of being priced out forever pushes demand away from its equilibrium point. At …

I remember a friend majoring in physics talking to me about theories one day. There was a time when physicists would make theories about what was "really" happening. These theories would like little stories about what the particles were actually doi…
