"Oh Lord, may our housing be perpetually unaffordable to normal families, and may we all move to West Indianapolis instead. Amen." I wonder if the pastor was praying for pets.com stock to stay high a few years ago...

Well, some lawyers are going to get fat off of this. It apparently didn't occur to a single Cosmo purchaser that they needed to monitor local zoning activity...

LOL, LOL, LOL!!!!! Perhaps we can formally start the First Church of Christ, Realtor™. Worship at The Bountiful Fount Of Real Estate!

Virtually nobody bothers to comment on Lar's main RE blog. http://realestateundressed.com/ However, the blog is still somewhat entertaining - I am particularly amused by Lar's strange obsession with getting the priced-out-forever Seattle masse…

Yeah, the guy who compared Tim and other bubble bloggers to whining petulant children has decided to brook no further criticism: Going forward I will post to you, and to the many in the first and relevant to todays market, those looking for thei…

Check out this post from Larry's personal blog. That post is really unbelievable. A real mark of a "professional". I guess that even over the internet, you can smell the fear...

But, you have to admit that Mack at least is amusing. I never knew that I had so many personal deficiencies until Mack was kind enough to point them out, and I never knew that I was so utterly lacking in professional skills. Besides, it is going…

One participant on the P-I blog increasingly is sounding like the French soldier on the parapet in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail": "Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!" "Now, go away, or I shall taunt you a second…

Interesting admission from the P-I blog: And finally, from the silly statistics department, our office agents are busy again. In an office that averages 30 deals/week from about 75 agents, 6 weeks ago, we crashed and flat lined at 9 deals/wk for…

Moss: What's your name? Blake: F!@# YOU, that's my name!! You know why, Mister? 'Cause you drove a Hyundai to get here tonight, I drove a eighty thousand dollar BMW. That's my name!! I love that scene. RE at its finest.

More Mack from the PI blog: I presume you've spent more time on SeattleBubble than I have; do you know of any professional - they get paid as - economists specializing in real estate analysis there? More raising of the bar - it is not eno…

IQ test: you can take the advice of someone on the sidelines, or someone who's been in the game for fifteen years, done hundreds of deals worth tens of millions of dollars. I'm sure that you have enormous expertise in the mechanics of doing r…

Hey Mack! As I've noted previously on this blog, I salute your judgement in reducing your real estate exposure by selling your house and buying a condo at the top of the market. Very astute of you...

Why did I click on this Oct. 12 post? Well, we know that the song for Seattle real estate "professionals" for the next couple of years is "Brother, Can You Spare A Dime?"

Being 90 minutes from skiing is indeed what makes the winter tolerable...

Portland is perhaps marginally (very marginally) less grey than Seattle, but it is also colder - temps seem to hover in the mid-30's for a couple of months in mid-winter - PDX also gets more snowstorms, as well as ice storms. Raining and 35 is magi…

Everybody wants to live in Portland - February is a very magical time there...

Shug, shug, where are you????? They're dissing your hood!

"Real estate and the economy are hyper-local and should be treated as such." Repeat after me - real estate is hyper-local, the economy is hyper-local, credit markets are hyper-local (oh wait...). "Ms. Sinick - Is it a safe bet to assume that y…

Cue spooky music... Night Of The Living Renter!!!

"...while working for a real-estate company" Yeah, but unlike most people in the RE industry, he has highly transferable IT skills. He should be fine work-wise, unless the whole economy tanks, in which case we are all in trouble.

"He makes good money" Good- he's going to need it.

Wahoooo!!!! Pink Ponies!!!! Guaranteed 20% a year appreciation!!! Get on the equity ladder!!! /snark (Hope Boeing isn't buying too much stuff from abroad, considering that the dollar is about to collapse...)

"It also perfectly illustrates the fact that our standard of living has severely declined in this country. In years past, it was possible for one median-income wage-earner, working one job, to be able to afford a house." Ridiculous housing prices…

Ah yes, that would be Reba Hass (I'm sure the first link doesn't work anymore): "Excellent employment news and growing wages continue to help strengthen the local real estate economy strangling the "bubble" talk around these parts. We're likely j…

Another thing unmentioned is that besides making a social statement after a messy divorce, A. obviously bought the house because Real Estate Always Goes Up, and she thought she would make a killing. From her latest comment on the thread: "One …

I feel for her, but it wasn't a very good financial decision.

Tick.... tick..... tick.... tick.....

I think that the overall real estate market is making a number of people at RCG cranky. They are going to be cranky for a long time.
