Well said Allan. Now you and the other who have posted excellent, accurate comments in this thread need to send them to the NC Times and see if THEY print any of them.

BTW – TJ’s in Temecula has an ’05 Alexander & Fitch cab for $5.99 that is pretty decent juice. From the Shaw source but much better quality imo. The two they have I really like are the Ruston Cuvee Simone and Reflexion for $20. Both are ten bucks or more elsewhere. I’ve liked most of the Cameron Hughes offerings so far. There’s going to be a lot of these wine deals in Costco and TJ’s for years.

patient,

There’s nobody left at the big lenders. lol. Sadly, but true there’s not much they could tell you. I know LOTS of people in different facets of the biz and it’s all pretty ugly. The middle-east money that’s been holding up the premier coastal areas of O.C. is even drying up. Unless they just landed from Mars, no one wants to buy a home they think they will go for 30-40-50% less in a year or two. There are going to be way too many homes on the market for the feds to contend with, especially in Bush’s final swan song push for more defense (Iraq) and war chest $$.

This guy is floatin’ down the river of d’Nile. He said it will get better in 2-3 years? lol. In three months he’ll take another 25% hit and start panicking. Did you see where the lender-owned homes are selling at a rate of 10%. Awful. It’ll be 5% and 1% soon enough. We’ll be lucky if we don’t see a recession in Spring of ’08. Batten down the hatches guys and gals cause a big storm is coming.

Wow.

“One last note, can we leave religion, morality and the blame game out of this post, and stick to Real Estate?”

Unless people disagree with you then it’s:

“I can see many of you on this board are threatened by the probable price declines, that ARE coming. I don’t need to waste my time defending what I say, to mostly nervous, overly religious, republican fundamentalist, real estate hacks. Having to constantly defend what I say here is old and tired. You honestly deserve each other on this board”.

LS08 you need to chill out. Talk about hating. There is much more agreement here than you can see if you take your blinders off. Everyone has their perspectives and takes on when, why, how much etc. If they don’t exactly match yours that’s okay. You’re an awful busy guy for a full-time science teacher. You post more than anyone and have created your own blogspot (which incidentally keeps timing out when I try your link).

I post 1/1000th of you and yet we’ve agreed on almost everything. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see the June shoe is next to drop, then July’s, August, September….all the way through next year and possibly beyond. I don’t have to study every report that comes out. I only need to drive the neighborhoods and see how many new homes are out on the market and observe a few open houses to see how many, if any are getting any action. Fwiw, there is minimal if any. On top of this there are developments (both large and small)everywhere like the Great Park in Irvine and that alone will add up to 14,000 more homes over the next couple of years. I talk to friends in the biz and hear they aren’t doing well. And we’re getting close to the end of the home buying window for many families that want to be in before school starts etc.

If you really want to start constructive threads here or elsewhere you would do well to relax and not get so caught up in your position and what appears to be the need to be right. You can respectfully disagree with others and they with you without all the acrimony. I have certain beliefs about the current the market but I’m not married to my positions. If someone makes a valid observation I haven’t considered (which happens with all of us) then I appreciate having my eyes opened to another school of thought. Heck, one poster used his favorite Italian restaurant’s meal price to get a point across. Anything and everything is fair game here.

Of course the latest NAR mouthpiece is taking up where Lereah left off. Guess he hasn’t heard of the coming re-sets in 2008. lol
