CoronitaParticipantDidn't stay for the entire thing. But it doesn't seem like there was any deals.
2bd/2ba sold between 400-440K. 3bd/2ba sold between 490K-500K. There were around couple of hundred of people bidding for a handful of condos. That was the seen when I walked in, and immediately I felt we weren't going to see any deals.
There apparently was still too many dollars chasing for the same bone. Or I should say, too many leveraged dollars chasing for the same falling daggers 🙂 Looks like the marketing gimmick worked.
My sneaking suspicion that in general people pay more at auctions seem to have been valid at yesterday's auction. Because I remember when Heights first was having issues, they were adding enough incentives on the 2/2 such that the price came out to be effectively $390k (rebates, brokerage comissions, etc). We decided it was still too much so we passed. I think people overpaid in this economy, but frankly that's not my concern, and if a greater fool can support this, well by all means.
The bad news. Looks like there's still interest in CV. We haven't fallen to a point when people aren't interested in CV at all.
The good news is there are now 32 less people on the attached markets…So perhaps this will slightly squeeze sellers of attached units elsewhere in CV. And double checking CV, there is quite a bit of inventory on the attached markets.
If you're looking for an attached home in CV, it was probably better you didn't get into this bidding war. Your pockets will appreciate it in the long run.
Really trying to figure out folks that paid $400k-$440k on a 2/2 convert. I mean, with all due respect, there's plenty of better 2/2 on the market around the same price. Perhaps they can't qualify for conventional financing? or these just got emotional at the auction???

CoronitaParticipantIf McCain win, so what, he will probably go see St. Peter two year into his term due to old age. Therefore, I think who he choices to be his vice-president will be a very big factor at least for winning hard right-wingers.
Any chances of a McCain/Ron Paul Ticket ? 🙂
Yes, yes I know. They're at odds end with the war issue.

CoronitaParticipantgreensd,
I'm going to try to be blunt here…A degree of any sort only helps opens doors. What you do with those doors is completely up to you. With a math phd (and if your good at what you do), you could easily be working on wall street. But again, what you choose and how you apply it is is completely up to you. Unfortunately, you are going though what many PHD constituents have gone through. You're seeing the disparity between acadamia and the private sector(s).
If you want to stay in acadamia, I respect that (I couldn't). But you can't pursue what you want and then complain about if it doesn't pay you enough. If money really mattered more to you than acadamia, then you would motivate to do something about it, possibly giving up being a professor and pursue something else.
While I have always said that I felt having a good education is important for your future, it by no means is the end-all be-all of financial nirvana. You can't hide behind your degree and expect to be compensated just because you're addressed Dr.
I admire those that choose to teach, or those that choose to serve in the public sector. Because I couldn't do it. But I can't really sympathize with those that do this and then aren't happy with the decision. Because you know this is how the public sector has worked in america and it's not going to change.
