If you have the energy to sell and rent (which is what I just did), then do it. If not, just hang tough in the condo until you can't stand it anymore.

It definitely generates immediate negative feelings when they leave it out, but if it looks good otherwise, I just go look it up on the parcel viewer. In fact, even if they do have sq ft, I look it up on the parcel viewer, because I'm pretty adaman…

Why? And remove all doubt that it's too small? 840 sq ft, BTW. I don't live there anymore and no longer see him. He never lived there, and probably has little reason to visit. I sold my house a month ago, which had the identical layout whe…

You're both probably right. Personally, I am having my doubts it will sell in the 3s. He will end up in the red. The longer he waits to cut, the deeper, darker red it will be.

Heh. I noticed that this morning as well. It's kinda funny, because he gave me this long lecture about dropping aggressively before the listing gets stale. I think his profit margin is too thin to cut significantly. He's only making 20K for …

Any idea how to interpret this one? Crazy-ass price history: Date Price Appreciation Apr 28, 1989 $81,600 Sep 02, 2004 $335,000 Jul 12, 2006 $985,000 Apr 04, 2008 $838,501 It looks like the bank bought it back a month ago, an…

Realizing you aren't as rich as you thought you were is an unpleasant feeling.
-
I would probably agree with that, I was simply giving you some evidence that folks were (and still are to the extent that they can) extracting large amounts of equity from their homes. You asked for data, I attempted to deliver. It would be nice t…

Another somewhat relevant post: Assuming 74.2% of total assets is for households with mortgages ($14,954.8 billion), and since all of the mortgage debt ($10,508.8 billion) is from the households with mortgages, these homes have an average of 29.7%…

Here you go...

I'm B (C-ish, but the I'm just trying to stretch out the lag between selling and buying as long as my wife has patience for). DJO - I seem to recall CR estimating equity extraction at about half a trillion a year at during the final few years of …

Yeah, we are not there yet in Seattle. Maybe in the dark of December, I'll hit a seller with one who's house has been mouldering for 6 months or so. That's pretty much all I'm tracking now - overpriced homes I plan to make offers on in a few mo…

The closest one to you that I can vouch for is Grinders, up on Aurora near the county line. Fantastic east-coast style sandwiches. If you like garlic, you will go back every week. Saturday nights they have bands, but the reservation list is sever…

What are the NTS filings and how do you watch them?
-
Bringing this back on-topic, I think we need to see the death of the flipper for the vast majority of our competition to disappear. I think we are pretty much there. My bud next-door said he's not going to flip anymore houses. He's done for the…

Sounds like we're competing for the same damn home, DJ. Find your own town!

Thanks Rhonda! Once or twice a day, which is more often than necessary. I'm passively in the market, as you know, and just want to keep a feel for the trends, what's selling, what's sitting, and how much they are selling for. Estately makes t…

Wow - If that's what it looks like now, it should have been a tear down No shit. That's exactly what I assumed would happen when it went on the market. I hate that too, Alan. It's 840 sq ft, or at least it was. He lists it at 900 sq ft …

He He. Only on Seattle Bubble: "The Great Depression? Not so bad." You rock, RCC!

The flip next-door: Some of you may know I just sold my house (we close today). You may also know I've been watching and chatting with the dude renovating and flipping the house next door (above). This house was built at the exact same time…

Just pointing out they may get sued by their next lender is all. Business being business.

Gawd. It's one of those skinnies (looks like they did a 2 lots to 3 short plat). I hate skinnies. 100K is too much.
-
Read the original post, silly, wilted ubersalad. He said north and/or west of the city proper and he also said on the water. Why even bother with spewing your bile in this thread if you've never been either north or west of the city in 15 years. …

I don't feel territorial at all. I'm socal born (though Buffalo raised), my wife went to UCLA, my in-laws are in the bay area (heading down this weekend for Bay to Breakers race), so I'm not your typical cali hater (though you will encounter some).…

Re-reading - Winslow, over on Bainbridge Island has had a bunch of new condo development. I really like it. If you don't need to commute daily, Bainbridge could be for you. Lot's of excals. Kingston - again pretty close to island life. They …

What do you mean by growth? Price growth, or a bunch of Californians moving there? ; I don't think you can count on price growth in any area over the next 5-10 years. Down for 5 and flat for 5, is my guess. Pop. growth - dunno. Downtown. …

The ethical issue would be the fact that your niece would be defrauding the next lender. When your niece is applying for the loan on the next house down in the land of no allergies (the Southwest?), if they don't disclose that they are about to def…

True dat. I am full of awe at the audaciousness.

Honestly. It must sometimes be hard to live with yourself as a Realtor, after having to write this kinda schlock. It must really wear you down. I can only imagine the seller insisted on way over-pricing it, and they're just going through the mo…
