  • I love sandwiches. The Other Coast for your standard sammich. (Oh God the Rajin Cajun' is amazing.) And Paseo's if you're feeling the pork. Both relatively expensive sandwiches (7-10 bucks) but still just one $ I guess. I'm really looking for…
  • I have also heard that they are closing home loan centers and shutting down wholesale entirely.
  • That post is the classic "It's always the right time to buy." I'm losing the will to even comment anymore. A buddy at work just became a real estate agent and I didn't have the heart to start a long conversation about how "special" we are here i…
  • Regarding the NAR spin of Feb over January numbers, from The Big Picture http://bigpicture.typepad.com/comments/2008/03/existing-home-s.html: 3) The average increase from January to February over the past 4 years has been 7.2%. Yesterday's month…

  • I...I... I'm speechless. This is amazing.

  • I drove by 5 in Ballard (98117). All looked occupied. 1 Looked like crap (unkempt lawn, damaged porch, recliner outside), but it had a decent car outside. The other 4 looked fine. I don't know what it means. There had to be some reason these …

  • Breakouts/recaps are out. http://www.nwmls.com/discover/nwreporte ... ageID=4022
  • Was it relisted? Ziprealty has that MLS#27145286 only on the market since August while the article says June. If it doesn't sell, you think he will have much luck renting it out. You think it will cover his mortgage? And they decided to go bac…
  • Remember when Ardell was seeing 15-25% rises back in February. I'm trying to remember what her trick was. She could "feel it" or something like that. I think it was the same post where Eleua saw the banking crisis but we learned that no one shoul…
  • I like how half of all REALTORS refuse to type "Red Fin." The Fin, R, etc. Same with Zillow. It's like Voldemorte.
  • Read some more of his comments about the two condos. And in response to the question about financing; I have a interest only jumbo ARM that I used stated income to get from Countrywide. And no, that does not keep me up at night. It's not less than…
  • Another new trend I've noticed is that real estate isn't just local anymore, it's "hyper local." The bar is moving. The nation may have trouble, but not Washington. What? Washington may have trouble, but not Seattle. Ok, so maybe Seattle has tro…
  • I didn't realize there was a whole category "Behind the cycle." Thanks.
  • They're pretty snarky in there. RainCity seems almost reasonable compared to the PI blogs.
  • I'm so glad Seattle is immune. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
  • I don't understand Ardell's venom at Craig regarding the "angle." He asked her what set BRIO apart and she dedicates a whole post deriding him because he used the word "angle."
  • Here's a reduction of 45k on a 550k Seattle condo. You have to sign in, but the hilarious part is the text Hurry in!!! Price reduced for a limited time only!!! Are they going to jack the price back up when no one is interested?
  • Has Verizon got FiOS in the area yet?
