Impact of foreclosure in prices

[picpoule]

Yeah, the amount of debt forgiven counts as income in the eyes of the IRS. So the seller gets a nice big bill from the IRS for the extra income when there’s a short sale. I don’t think a lot of sellers understand this, because it’s something new.

Sorry to hijack the thread for a moment but Phil Hendrie will be sadly missed on the airwaves by this realtor. He is a comic genius. I listened to him for several months before finding out what was going on. When I told a friend who listened also he didnt beleive me until I proved it. An amazing talent, I tried to switch between voices like him as a test and my voice hurt after 30 seconds

Dont forget:

“Sessy” Chris Norris
Roland Scwhinn
and the other characters who names escape me (preteen boy,vigilante guy, old black woman etc.)

Hilarious!!!

SDR – Per your own words:

“Please exchange emails and continue your off topic discussion elsewhere. It really has nothing to do with RE and belongs elsewhere.”

Ask of me only what you are willing to do yourself.

[sdrealtor]

Sorry, I knew that I was breaking my own rule but couldnt resist and apologized in advance.

[docteur]

SDR –

Apologizing in advance doesn’t make it OK to do.

If it did, we could commit a whole host of wrongs and never be held accountable for them.

You set the standard. Let’s continue to keep our word and recreate the agreement to stick with real estate only.

Deal? (Come on now, that’s a word we both can relate to).

[sdrealtor]

I didnt start it, it was a one time infraction and I accepted the slap on the wrist. Time to move on…

[PD]

SDR, you got up on your high horse yesterday and pitched off today. “I didn’t start it,” does not produce the image of a person brushing themselves off with dignity.

Boy, now that I’m up on MY high horse, I hope I don’t pitch off next! The ground looks pretty hard, kind of like the RE landing….. :0)

time to move on

[docteur]

SDR –

Your response to my request to recreate our agreement is very telling and speaks volumes as to your character.

Your words reveal to me exactly who you are and where you operate from in your life.

Time to move on? It is now…

[sdrealtor]

Not sure where you were going with this but making a brief joke is hardly a whole host of transgressions. My character is fine, in fact people tell me I am quite the chgaracter in real life. I like to inject humor in my life and see no harm in it as long as I’m not hurting any one. The jokes were harmless and apreciated by a couple fellow posters, thats all. Your request only extended the off topic discussion when it was already time to move on…

Chris Norton’s “sesuality” is classic. I don’t think I’ve heard of Roland Schwinn. The preteen boy you mention is RC Collins from Bradley Military Academy, the vigilante guy is Jay Santos, Brigadier Admiral for the Citizen’s Auxiliary Police (one of my favorites), and the old black woman is Mavis Leonard.

Another of my favorites is Steve Bosell. He’s the hyper-sensitive construction contractor from Corona who, along with his attorney Doloris Blasingame from Riverside, sues everyone for everything. There was one skit where Steve wanted to sue a man for saying “Aw, who died” after he pinched a loaf in the restroom at Outback Steakhouse. Classic!

You have to watch the Phil do his thing on the webcast…it’s nothing short of amazing. He also screens the calls during commercial breaks.

Forward me your email sometime…I have a backstage pass to his website and over 10GB of archived clips.

Maybe we should start a “So Long Phil Henrie” thread?

Hey, I am as much a proponent of the housing bubble as anyone else. I also think that many realtors have poo-poo’d the drop in RE prices recently. But to go on and on about hijacking the thread is pointless at this juncture. The thread has already been hijacked. The person who started the food fight deserves the lion’s share of the blame. Now that the rest of us are covered in 2% milk and runny mashed potatoes we might as well have some fun.

[docteur]

SDR – Thanks for your response.

However, it’s not about the jokes. Clearly, you don’t get it.

It’s about keeping your word and honoring your agreements and not making excuses when you don’t. You blew off your transgression, because you decided it didn’t matter because you felt it was insignificant. To do that shows great disrespect.

This is about the context from which you operate, not the content of your life.

Asking me (and others) to honor a request that you are not willing to honor yourself shows a lack of integrity.

Consciously acknowleding that you were going to break your word by apologizing in advance, shows me that you don’t take your word seriously, and therefore are someone that I find unworthy of my trust.

I know you think that this is unimportant but it is exactly what keeps you stuck in your life. You change the rules when it suits you. The size (content) of the infraction is unimportant. The context is everything. Stealing trust a penny at a time is no different than robbing a bank full of millions.

I want you to know that I support you in being bigger than your considerations about this discussion. I respectully suggest that you start taking your word and your agreements seriously. Keep your word, no matter what and act as if your life depended on it. Because it does.

By keeping my word, I show respect for you. It means you can count on me to always be authentic in my dealing with you. That way you will know who I am and be clear on where I operate from in this life. Nothing will be hidden. If I do what I say, you will always know what to expect of me.

If I break my word, I will always be responsible and clean up my lack of integrity the moment that I recognize that I have not kept my word. I will never break my word consciously unless I receive your permission first to do so. Therefore, by doing that, it puts me back in integrity once again, revealing to you where I operate from in my life.

To that end, I want to acknowledge that I have been off topic during these last few posts and have broken my agreement/commitment to stick with real estate related information only.

I agree to recreate that agreement right now, regardless of whether you are willing to make that same commitment. I think it was a sound suggestion which will further the purpose of this form and weed out those discussions that don’t keep us on purpose. Therefore, you have my word that from this point forward I will only discuss real estate related issues on this forum.

Reduced GAINS; NOT price drops!

R&F: in the middle of the “Food Fight” you say:

“I also think that many realtors have poo-poo’d the drop in RE prices recently”

At the risk of ducking soupbones from y’all, San Diego has have yet to see REAL PRICE DROPS on SFR resale homes! These Median prices INCREASED 3.7% in May. So–o-oo, my net worth increased by only $185,000 in May (x!@#gd!!).

Hopefully the fact that MAY UNITS SOLD dropped by 30% from near record highs of last year is only part of the statistical return to selective buying opportunities which may take six years to bottom out. Please check out WhatHousingBubble.com
