ParticipantIt’s hard to say what she does or doesn’t know. Consider this – how many Americans get all their news off of the combination of the nightly network newscasts and the entertainment gossip shows that come on before the prime-time sitcoms? They know more about Britney and Paris than about when the next general election is.

ParticipantI had a similar experience recently. My neighbor who I know only very casually knocks on my door seeking advise on renting out her house. I guess by virtue of being a renter I’m supposed to have some special knowledge to share. Anyway, the conversation turns to the state of the market and I am amazed to find how out of touch she is. Although she did have an awareness that the market had softened and that she couldn’t sell for what she owed (worked for the builder and financed 100% in 2005) her perceived value of her home was at least $100,000 more than what the current market is. When I shared some recent model match comps (REO’s)with her she a) was not aware of these sales and b) believed not that the market had dropped to that level but that the purchasers had instant equity because the price was so low. She went on to tell me that her plan was to rent the house out for a year at which time she fully believed that the market would have recovered to the point she could once again sell the house for a profit.
The whole conversation also left me wondering if there is a lot more distressed inventory than what is being reported. Consider this, three houses in a row on the street I live on none of which is in default. 1) The house I rent- market value $500,000 total loans $625,000 rental income $2500 total of payments $4000. 2) The neighbor I mentioned who is upside down $100,000 and looking to rent and I forgot to mention laid off by her builder employer 3) Laid off escrow worker who is also looking to rent until things get better. I would argue that even though none of these houses is technically in trouble they are all headed to a bad ending. Are others seeing this in their neighborhoods?-

ParticipantYeah, people just don’t get it. Denial is too strong. This is also exactly why it’s taking so long for prices to come down. Sellers in denial and ignorant buyers still out there. But it kinda looks like there’s fewer buyers out there, so maybe there is some hope.
I’m out in Michigan, chomping at the bit for prices to go down, so I can go back to San Diego. I get the same thing out here. Out here the economy is dismal, and home prices are going down at a snail’s pace for all the same reasons. People just cling to the notion that there home is immune to anything disasterous.
I think foreclosures are going to change this. If banks start dumping their luggage at a quicker rate, comps will reflect. At least that’s what I’m hoping.
Last time around, I bought a house in Murrietta from the bank and a 20 acre avocado grove in De Luz. I gave an offer in De Luz for a 20 acre horse property that was first listed at $950 just one year earlier. My offer was $250. I didn’t get it because a previous offer of $220 was already accepted. I tell these stories to people out here and they say, “Well, that’s California.” Like somehow Michigan is better?
My brother tells me that my expectations for other people are too high.He says just lower your expectations and maybe you’ll be pleasantly surprised every now and then. He just might be right.
Well, it’s the first real snow of the season. Kids are pulling at me ….

ParticipantI had a similar experience recently. My neighbor who I know only very casually knocks on my door seeking advise on renting out her house. I guess by virtue of being a renter I’m supposed to have some special knowledge to share. Anyway, the conversation turns to the state of the market and I am amazed to find how out of touch she is. Although she did have an awareness that the market had softened and that she couldn’t sell for what she owed (worked for the builder and financed 100% in 2005) her perceived value of her home was at least $100,000 more than what the current market is. When I shared some recent model match comps (REO’s)with her she a) was not aware of these sales and b) believed not that the market had dropped to that level but that the purchasers had instant equity because the price was so low. She went on to tell me that her plan was to rent the house out for a year at which time she fully believed that the market would have recovered to the point she could once again sell the house for a profit.
The whole conversation also left me wondering if there is a lot more distressed inventory than what is being reported. Consider this, three houses in a row on the street I live on none of which is in default. 1) The house I rent- market value $500,000 total loans $625,000 rental income $2500 total of payments $4000. 2) The neighbor I mentioned who is upside down $100,000 and looking to rent and I forgot to mention laid off by her builder employer 3) Laid off escrow worker who is also looking to rent until things get better. I would argue that even though none of these houses is technically in trouble they are all headed to a bad ending. Are others seeing this in their neighborhoods? -

Did you get a chance to direct her to Piggington’s?
Was she augmented?She could figure out who you are… super hero, consoler of hosed(augmented) borrowers. You all the while secretly and persistently, maintain your “reverse flipper” obligations, all out of sensitivity for her feelings of course.

ParticipantI’m trying to clean up my act Rustico, I’ll blame you for dragging me into the gutter on this one. I had little fear she had seen or will ever see this site but on the off chance she does, let’s just say she didn’t fall into my demographic. Even if she had it would violate one the bachelor covenants (avoid women within visual range of your home, women at work and women who are friends of your relatives). All relationships end, minimize the aftermath impact by evaluating it at the very start.
You are right in realizing that my brutal honesty was based on her not being in my demographic, had she qualified I would have shown a little more decorum but that is what a superhero does, only reveals the cape and costume when needed.
Answer to both questions-no.

Participantmany sellers or owners are emotional about their home.
when I told my colleage home price in Oceanside is
dropping down he got very upset and say that’s impossible
becasue OC people buying there. Now after he saw his neighbor
sold a house at a price much lower than his expection then he
argued: “anytime is good time to buy a home for family”,
it’s kind of funny, just a realtor is telling his customer.-

ParticipantThe other thing I was going to say is that Temecula area is already cheaper than the areas I’ve been tracking in Detroit area suburbs. (yeah, I know I’m probably the only person here who cares about Detroit subs). For kid reasons, I’ve been tracking homes in the Canton area out here. Canton is very similar to Temecula in that it is a commuter bedroom community. Work is going to be a commute, except for service related jobs . A Pulte 2500-3000 home is $600.
The gems TG is finding in Temecula are already looking pretty good. I might be moving sooner than I thought.-

Participant“I’ll blame you for dragging me into the gutter on this one.”
Don’t worry I won’t be the devil that made you do it too often. My conscience is married to my wife who would rather my frequent decorum lapses don’t go there, I am sure.I would think retired people from all over the country would put the floor on Temecula prices. I would start advertising in the AARP periodicals if they drop anymore and if Temecula were not so far from home.

ParticipantIt’s been a while…
but am working on the presumption the TG was saved by the good and wiggly Piggs from bloodying his hands with unnecessary knife-catching hijinx… that he’s channeling RW Emerson and making my dear departed father rather happy in doing so…
priceless post from TG. A 10!!
“We go to people who weep foolishly and sit down and cry for company instead of giving them truth and health in rough electric shocks, knocking some sense back into their heads.”
Too much forbearance of stupidity is an eventually bitter and (who knows?) carcinogenic pill for those whose little gray cells function at a level a little less than common…

ParticipantHi Voz welcome back. Emerson is the man from the pencil making family who spent time writing from a secluded cabin in the woods? I think he gets credit for being a founding father in the unitarian universalist church which I am a dropout from. Being that you are a fan you might want to check out the connection.

ParticipantYes VO, I was temporarily saved and I appreciate the RWE comparison. I am heavily influenced by the writings of Ben Franklin and Mark Twain and can often be caught plagiarizing their style, but if you see RWE, it’s all good. Rustico, I only blamed you because I needed someone to blame and you were the closest potential victim. Of course my latest love interest is in the R/E business, in fact the last few have been (they have so much time on their hands lately, most are hot, middle aged and quite frankly I have sugar daddy written over me because I wrote it there). The latest one, whew…if that girl serves up the kool aid, I’m drinking. In all seriousness Vo, I am not out of the woods, the knives have been put away but I remember what drawer they are in. Prices keep falling and as soon as 2008 starts, I’m going shopping again and firing up the lowball cannon, we’ll see if I hit anything.

ParticipantGreat post TG, sadly I lol’ed through it. .. NO you shouldn’t feel bad though. I have the same thing going on in my area in Harveston where I rent. One neighbor is listing his home almost $300k MORE than a similar home on the same street, but with a better lot. This home does have a brown lawn, but its been on the market for OVER 400 days. Now there are like 4 homes similar to the neighbors, all price between $420-460k, and they are still asking $699.

I am heavily influenced by the writings of Ben Franklin and Mark Twain and can often be caught plagiarizing their style, but if you see RWE, it’s all good. Rustico, I only blamed you because I needed someone to blame and you were the closest potential victim. Of course my latest love interest is in the R/E business, in fact the last few have been (they have so much time on their hands lately, most are hot, middle aged and quite frankly I have sugar daddy written over me because I wrote it there). The latest one, whew…if that girl serves up the kool aid, I’m drinking. In all seriousness Vo, I am not out of the woods, the knives have been put away but I remember what drawer they are in. Prices keep falling and as soon as 2008 starts, I’m going shopping again and firing up the lowball cannon, we’ll see if I hit anything.

(yeah, I know I’m probably the only person here who cares about Detroit subs). For kid reasons, I’ve been tracking homes in the Canton area out here. Canton is very similar to Temecula in that it is a commuter bedroom community. Work is going to be a commute, except for service related jobs . A Pulte 2500-3000 home is $600.
The gems TG is finding in Temecula are already looking pretty good. I might be moving sooner than I thought. -

when I told my colleage home price in Oceanside is
dropping down he got very upset and say that’s impossible
becasue OC people buying there. Now after he saw his neighbor
sold a house at a price much lower than his expection then he
argued: “anytime is good time to buy a home for family”,
it’s kind of funny, just a realtor is telling his customer. -

ParticipantAmericans are indeed financially illiterate. Last night the couple next to us at a restaurant were having a discussion about mortgages and clearly knew nothing about fixed rate versus adjustable rate.

ParticipantSD, actually I did do something productive, just not someone productive.
sd, Ben Franklin was the orginal player, he didn’t have to be president and deal with a first lady and still got on the currency. Of all his famous quotes “Beer is proof that god loves us and wants us to be happy” has never been topped, never. He liked the ladies, liked the drink and still managed to create one hell of a country.
matt, I took a few jabs at you on the recap thread, all in good fun. Every street seems to have one of those people who are priced 40% over the rest, ignorance is bliss, it just doesn’t get many offers.
rustico, I say use the alias, come up, throw on a nat nast and we can hit the wineries and use fake names, it’s almost as fun as football for a Sunday.
trex, don’t bite your tongue, just realize that if everyone was smart, you wouldn’t be able to outsmart them.
Vo, you are as wacky as ever, love it. I think you should parlay that trancendental writing talent into a book, “Zen and the art of brown lawn maintenance.” I’d buy it.
sddreaming, of course this is better than Michigan but if you work downtown, Temecula can be a challenging drive, come rent first and see if it works for you.
gotta run, productivity awaits.
