In the areas I have been looking in, RSF/Santaluz, I have not seen a lot of new inventory hit in my size/price range this past month, which is surprising. All the homes I have gone after have either sold to other buyers or are holding strong at their asking prices. I wait patiently to see if any of them fall out of escrow or drop their asking price.
I will be listing my own home next month so I will have a perspective of both buyer and seller. Should be fun.

And who cares that french wines are getting expensive. You live in arguabley the best wine growing region in the WORLD (CA, not temc.) and despite all their wishing and stupid NORCAL stickers, they use the same skydiving currency you do. Add in all the countries who HAVE to keep exporting good wines at any price since they have near no home market (Chile, Argentina, AUS) and you are sitting pretty. Well, ok you are stitting slovenly with a pokadotted use-to-be white shirt, but still. Expand your mind and your pallet, not your wallet my good man.
No, the real reason I am ok with it all is that I dont mind renting. I dont understand the mentality that renting is only for loosers and the poor. You are perfectly happy shorting the market but dont see the paralells to renting? Same as the idea that no one this side of college should have a roommate (not sharing the same bedroom, but the same house). Why? I have a better place with more stuff for less money? I also have an instant friend to share/use all the cool stuff. I know a bunch of people who have their own places, and they always seem to be out or at my place hanging with us. I dont want to live in a house with 20 other guys again, but I am not a hermet, I like at least SOME people out there. No, in a falling or just not appreciating market, the place to be is renting, waiting to pay you tomorrows inflata-dollar at 5 years ago prices. And while I wait, please fix everything that breaks, let me use all your appliances and fixtures so I dont wear out mine, and take care of my yard for me. All for the sky high price of HALF what it would cost me to buy it.

March 24, 2008 at 10:25 AM #175365barnaby33ParticipantSpeaking of alcohol, how come none of the financial posts about the falling dollar and gold prices point out the most important part of currency rates, the fact that bordeaux prices are rising, I don’t need any gold, but I need my wine.
Because that is FAR to painful to talk about. I mean housing is one thing but good wine, thats a building block of a functional life. Might I suggest switching to Italian, stock up on the 01’s while you can as those are pretty reasonably priced. Costco (here in SD) has the 01 Paolo Scavino Barolo for 40.
Speaking of Italian I do most of my buying at Wine Exchange in Orange. They have a huge selection and the best pricing in SoCal. Its Disneyland for winos.
