I thought comps were based on “sales” – not listings.

How can you base a comp value on a listing price?

The listing price is a moving target. The sale price is fixed and final. The listing price can change up or down.

I was also told by an appraiser that they do throw out the highest recent sale and the lowest recent sale to eliminate the extremes. Maybe he just told me that to CYA himself.

“…appraisers will start using our 40%-off listing in their comps…”

I thought I’d lost this book – “Creative and Critical Thinking” by W.Edgar Moore – but just now found it hidden in my bookcase 🙂 It has copyrights back to 1955!

This was a book that was introduced to me by a friend back in my college days late 70’s time frame. He handed it to me in class one day in a very austere manner and said that I had “arrived” – it was too funny a moment. Anyway there are some really good chapters in here: Fallacies of Irrelevance, Pitfalls in Language, Value Judgements, Need-Directed Thinking, The Personal Point of View, False Assumptions, etc

Back then it really influenced me. I really enjoyed my college days learning about new ideas and learning different subjects.

dharmagirl, “American Beauty” is one of my favorites. The scene that sticks with me is when that young man describes watching a plastic bag being spun around by the wind as the most beautiful thing he has ever recorded.

I’ve thought about that scene and tried to interpret it. I think that on one level the story is saying that no matter how ugly or unhappy our life can be there is still beauty in this world to be found. Or on a story plot level the young man is so desperate for hope in his world that the sight of a plastic bag animated by nature is beautiful for its simplicity. Or maybe the bag and the wind show that we really don’t have much control over the circumstances of our lives.
