Well, rising oceans should not be on your radar with regard to buying a house along the water and I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. The next major earthquake, however, is a different story. I've watched all of the TV specials over the past ten …

Here's my favorite Realtor comment thus far for 2008 from this thread, courtesy of Mack McCoy (which Greg Perry agrees with): http://blog.seattlepi.nwsource.com/realestate/archives/129238.asp#comments "The slower the market, the more deals each …

This sounds a lot like the story of my 90-year-old neighbor and his wife. He's still living at home (but really shouldn't be) with his wife. They live in a 1800 sf (approximate--buyer to verify ) 3/1 house that he built BY HIMSELF 50 years ago, …

My take on capitalism is that it has its good points and bad, but is probably the best system based upon our universal human failings. I agree with the other posters here that no system can work apart from some basic morality. The good: "The ca…

Is your brother attending WSU by any chance, or does he have a permanent job in the area ? What is your contingency plan if for some reason your brother wants to move somewhere else? Would you want to be driving over to Colfax during the middle of…

Yes, go for it! You should be able to take some flex time so you can come in late that day. It would be better to be down in the studio with him if possible, as the audio quality will be greatly superior to that when one party is phoning in.

Gee, another 'scare the renters into buying a home' story. I wonder (hmmm, mmmm) who could be behind stories like this?

You know when some new trend is featured on TV Sitcoms, that it's really over! On the first or second episode of the new show Carpoolers, the (RE agent) wife of one character flipped a house (all by telephone) - two times! The funny thing is, …

Scary indeed! Especially the plot showing household debt as a percentage of disposable income over the past few decades. :shock: Basically what it shows is that we've been borrowing our way into this mess for a long time. We certainly aren't g…

Having worked at Tim's place of employment for five years, I'd guess that most of his coworkers are asleep by 10pm and don't watch any late newscasts. The production workers start at 5:30 or 6am, and a lot of the office workers start early also so …

Hmmm, one additional item the Realtor has to buy now which comes out of their commission (remembering back to 60 minutes piece on Redfin where a realtor lists off all of her expenses): "We've got to pay for marketing materials, color copies of fl…

HA HA HA HA HA HAH! Oh this is just great stuff--here is a paragraph from Greg's post: .....real estate agents are just starting to discover that craiglist is giving their properties good exposure. For instance, 6 months ago, I was one of may…

If they were smart, they would take a copy of the article and run, RUN I say, down to their local assessor's office and demand, INSIST I say, that their assessed values be reduced. Gotta make lemonade with those lemons, no? :?

Well, the recent increase in sales is most likely due to those sellers who are fully aware that sales are dead from Nov-Feb and want or need to sell NOW. Anybody remember those Lexus ads they run every Christmas with the new Lexus in the driveway…

Anybody that purchases a large quantity of grow lights is highly suspect and should assume that they are being monitored by the authorities. I was down at an auction yard in Lewis County awhile back when we auctioned off all of my grandfather's f…

That bumper bar is the 'granite countertop' of the SUV world. It goes with that SUV like a Hummer goes with a McMansion. Itzallgood!

Hey, it's got a koi pond--that's gotta be worth an extra $75K, right? My friend's house in Beaverton had one, with actual koi in it. For awhile. Between the racoons and the herons, all of them disappeared over a few month period and he never …

Thanks for posting this, Jillayne!

Resurrecting the dead (thread) here, I just saw this ad again for the first time since last posting about it. It was on KOMO TV Channel 4, at the 6:42pm commercial break during the local news. If anybody wants to set their TIVO, I'd say target…

Heh heh heh! Darn it, but I can't believe it either--only two more days for a measly 70 more units to show up on the market. Either we're darn good, or just darn lucky . . .
