Ouch! - Amen to your comments! I've seen (on Redfin) several of the properties she is trying to sell. They are notoriously crummier houses that are WAY over priced for what they are. Desirable neighborhoods, but not priced to move. I feel sorry f…

Sourmash - Yeah, I think you're right, buddy is going to have a hard time selling a property that far north for over $500k. Unless someone is really looking for a large lot, anyone with that kind of cash to spend on a house is going to probably g…

No, my parents were neither. They bought their 70's house in old Kirkland in 1978 for $70k, which at the time was a stretch for them. My dad was an investigator with a moderate salary, and my mom a stay at home mother. When they moved to Kirkland in…

Most of Kirkland and parts of Redmond (the LW school dist) are very expensive... I grew up in "old Kirkland" (the area north of Kirkland Parkplace, and east of Market street) and you can't find any family homes under $600k in that area. In my rec…

Yes, I've had comments deleted off of RCG too. They don't believe in free speech over there. They want to paint a happy rosey picture and show how *everyone* agrees with them. Lovely.

That whole area is one big wasteland of townhomes. One of these days one of them will catch fire and the whole neighborhood will go up in flames. Ever try parking in that neighborhood? It's worse than the U-District... not enough street space for al…

Yes... Ardell is a salesperson. I love the semantics...she says "I'm not seeing price declines, I'm seeing price reductions." Hmmm...I suppose she would also use wording like "fixer upper" as opposed to "POS." Or a house overlooking I-5, she'd prob…

Here's one I just found. http://www.redfin.com/stingray/do/print ... -id=728255 List price: $599,950 Last sale: $160,000 in 2001 Zestimate: $411,230 Prop. taxes: $2767 IS THIS PERSON GREEDY OR WHAT?! I think this one is going to be…

The problem is, people get too emotionally attached to certain properties. We knew we were getting into competitive situations with our offers, we tend to like the "cute" craftsman style homes, and we are not unique in our taste. One house we wer…

The bathroom matches the pretty pink pony the seller must own...thinking their house is so special. Ugh

Having just bought a house in early May, I feel I may be one of the "suckers" who bought in at the top. On the other hand, I feel we got a good deal on our house and only paid the ask (which seems to have been purposely set low in anticipation of a …

If you've found it so helpful to read blogs and find info online about how to best market your house to sell, why would you need to pay an agent 3% to sell it for you? You should consider going with a discount brokerage... if you have a great hous…

The "fini" condos are a joke. They're tiny boxes. Yes they have a nice view on either side of the project....but they're tiny boxes being slapped up and I can't even begin to imagine what the markup is for the *marketing firm* they've hired to sell …

It seems like the new Redfin takes longer to load. I used to be able to move the map around and the houses showed up instantly, now it sometimes freezes up, or it takes 5-10 seconds to load once the map has been moved. Regarding the house...if th…

That's too bad...I drive by that ugly pit every day.

Yes! I feel vindicated knowing that at least a few other people agree. On a rainy day sometime I'd like to look at some archive RCG posts...though she's probably deleted them already. BTW- don't ever write anything negative on one of her blogs, she …
