Ok you guys...quit jacking my thread with your social planning! Let's take a look at some Tacoma condos. 3201 Pacific St. #303 listed at 100k http://www.redfin.com/WA/Tacoma/3201-Pa ... me/3030537 While you're at it, don't forget to …

I don't know why they ever got rid of the "luxury tax". I understand they dropped it for yachts over a decade ago and reduced it significantly (if not dropped completely) for cars over 35 or 40k...whatever it used to be. Not only should yachts a…

Dave...I think I understand where you're coming from. Wait...no...I don't. Especially the part where you say that a person who went through foreclosure will have a tough time opening a savings account. When has a bank ever not taken your mo…

"Make me move" also has a bit of bravado to it. If you say with a "Clint Eastwood" tone...it almost dares the borrower to pull out their checkbook. "Come on....Make...me...move."

IMO...when a person uses Zillow's Make Me Move, it tells me that somewhere, there is an agent that told them "Sorry, your price is too high, I don't want the listing".

Marlon. Hope everything works out for you job-wise and home-wise. WRT future employers checking credit and the fear people have of bad credit due to foreclosure...I think this time will be different as others have said. I'd be willing to bet th…

Getting back to the bottom...they sure aren't messing around in Tacoma. 1999 prices for this one. http://www.redfin.com/WA/Tacoma/1915-67 ... me/2789883 Sold in 2001 for $174,500 2005 for $272,000 2008 for $345,000 Currently offered fo…

And Seattle also has Laurelhurst, Madison Park, Mercer Island...and a TON of other nice yet overpriced areas. I wonder how the flip at the tip of Hunts Point is working out. They scraped the Roland Terry Mid Century Modern (big mistake) and now ar…

An economy can "save" too much or it can "spend" too much. I think both could be detrimental if taken to the extreme in either way. Most risk is taken with borrowed money. Who do the risk takers borrow their money from? The savers (through…

David... You're right about location. Not only does it go down to the neighborhood level...or even the street. It even depends on the quality of the house. Hancock Park even takes it a step further. The agents don't just sell you on the N…

OK. Here's what's happening in a "special" neighborhood in L.A. First a description of the area. Old established neighborhood (Hancock Park). The "official" boundaries of Hancock Park run from Rossmore Ave. to Highland Ave.(east to west) and…

Ira...I wouldn't fear for my life...and my car is insured. Would you like me to show you some patterns in Los Angeles WRT a bad street in a good neighborhood?
-
I think that Seattle's "infill" kills off neighborhoods. The zoning here is a bit odd also where you'll have a large house next to a small house behind a condo with townhomes across the street.

I'm not afraid to hang out in the south end. I used to have friends that actually lived in the warehouse of an auto body-shop on Rainier. But they were in a band...so I guess it fit them. Had plenty of great times down there. But anyhow....the…

OK. I'm feeling a little NON-politically correct after reading that story. Why? Because they are playing the "stupid" card. First, there is this quote from the Times article Standard loan underwriting criteria require a debt-to-adjuste…

I think you read it right...however, simply reworded it could say. "Hey investors! Buy our place! There is already a tenant so you don't have to put an ad on CL!" 1. How much are the renters paying? 2. If it cashflows, why are they sellin…

RCC... I agree with what you are saying...especially the arrogance that came with it. I think that the reason I considerer myself as "being outside the forest" is that I was living in Missouri watching the coasts. I wasn't the only one either t…

The whole country is geocentric. I'm sure the #4 city thought they should be #3 and so on and so on. It's pretty funny. Every place has it's pluses and minuses. Not sure if there really is a "Best Place". Of course...we'd all like to believe …

Anybody know if they nixed that Hollywood $250 Million +/- handout? Gawd I hope so.

Funny. I enjoyed playing that "Mansion Impossible" game you used to link to. And I'm not even a gamer. I wonder what the movie will be like. Will it be like "Boiler Room" and "Wall Street"? ...or will it take the form of a documentary? …

The price of the house is the price of the house. Money kicked back for a remodel should not be included in the recorded sales price of the house IMO. Money kicked back to buy down an interest rate etc. etc. should not be included in the price…

"Agent said it was probably a combination of "people like to get their asking price" (so it makes me "feel better" that the offer is for the whole amount even if other costs make the actual price lower) and the buyer wanting some liquid cash for fin…

Cheapseats...it's a 4-plex converted to individual condos.

B B But Zillow says it's worth $1,288,500. Who cares that they only paid 525k in 2006. You've got a driveway and foundation poured for you! Who's the bigger dreamer? Zillow or the owner?
