[quote=lostkitty]Puke! This guy is no longer “stressed” because he has plenty of spending money now… not paying the mortgage = $thousands extra each month. He already “paid off” his credit cards, remember?[/quote]

And he all but admits to taking a fraudulent mortgage deduction on the whole re-financed amount. Not very smart.

Back in the early ’80s I used to see a lot of bumper stickers that said:

Welcome to San Diego
Now Go Home

🙂

Which brings to mind another bumper sticker from the same era:

Welcome to San Diego
Owned & Operated
by SDG&E

As for my nom de pigg: I used to work in car audio, hence Dr. Boom.

Don’t forget the neat manicules.

I’m here because there’s good info posted by some smart people. Some it relates tangentially to local housing issues. 🙂

Will I still be here after I buy? Maybe, but I think I’ll want to put the whole house hunt nightmare behind me. I feel like I’ve been hanging out at a used car dealership for the past year, waiting for the right car to come in.

[quote=SD Realtor]I hear ya Dr Boom. However I think that the 3rd party sites WILL NOT want to display the true nature of the market. Some of us have been posting for the past several months that a large percentage of the Active inventory was not active, only to be ridiculed and accused of trying to create an illusory market.[/quote]

No ridicule from me: I’m with you.

Anyone who makes a few calls on supposedly “active” listings soon finds out what the score really is, so I don’t think it’s much of a surprise to the clueful.

[quote]The bottom line is that if Joe Consumer gets on line to shop on Redfin or Zillow for a home and sees his effective inventory reduced by 50 or 60% from the already ridiculously low volume it is currently at, then he will turn off the computer and go to the beach instead. [/quote]

You may be right. It wouldn’t deter me or my wife, on the other hand, and I don’t think we’re unique. If anything, showing the true state of things might create more bidding wars due to a higher perception of scarcity.

[quote]So maybe it is my pessimistic self talking here but I bet the third party subscribers will be somewhat… methodical in the approach of how to present the updated MLS… if they do anything at all. [/quote]

If one of them does it, I think the rest will have to follow.
