Waiting for Bottom in Escrow

[moneymaker]

I would be interested in what kind of bids you get on the pool. Wife and I are trying to decide between pool or jacuzzi, they have some really big jacuzzi’s now. Neighbor said they paid $60k for a pool some 5 or 6 years ago, seemed a little high to me.

It can run even higher… If there is no place to put the excavated dirt onsite it can get REALLY pricey to haul the dirt away.

There’s an entire sub-industry in construction with fill dirt. The end consumer pays at both ends – getting fill and getting rid of fill.

[quote=waiting for bottom]All moved in now and watching the SEH bubble re-inflate.

Actually out getting bids for a pool, I figure Q4 2009 will be the best time in history to negotiate with a contractor!

Thanks again to everyone on this site for saving me $200K in negative equity.[/quote]

Never could figure why anyone would want a pool living that close to the coast in SoCal, seems there would be very few days it would get warm enough to use it unless you spend a fortune keeping it warm, but I guess the Kids will enjoy it no matter what.
