ParticipantLOL!
I’m in marketing, so I know how the question is phrased is really important. It just seems so bizarre that a third of respondants couldn’t answer it. It’s the biggest purchase of most peoples’ lives, yet they don’t know the fundamentals?
March 27, 2007 at 2:46 PM in reply to: Great Reading: 34 % of homeowners are clueless about their mortgage #48556Participantthat is amazing! 34%!
I wonder how the survey was done?
How can someone not know what kind of mortgage they have? Talk about irresponsible!
March 26, 2007 at 5:38 PM in reply to: Need a link to Las Vegas housing crash sites or blogs!! #48488Participantcheck out OC Renter’s blog. There’s Vegas data on the left nav.
March 17, 2007 at 5:48 PM in reply to: In California, Perris is at the epicenter of mortgage problems. #47917ParticipantI’m going to answer my own question: it’s at 18. I don’t know if this tell us anything valuable.
I further perused the Riverside county numbers; Temecula which has been the subject of so much fraud was lower than Chula Vista. It has two zips: 9.1 and 8.2 were their scores – yikes, how much fraud can there be in CV?
March 17, 2007 at 5:44 PM in reply to: In California, Perris is at the epicenter of mortgage problems. #47916ParticipantHow does Chula Vista compare with the Perris area? I mean, how does a score of 12.2 compare to Perris? Are they at a 15? Or a 30?
March 17, 2007 at 5:09 PM in reply to: In California, Perris is at the epicenter of mortgage problems. #47912Participantto make it bigger, click on the image, and then at the bottom of that new screen, right under the image, click on “original”. It will increase.
Yeah, what struck me too was how many of the ‘poor’ zip codes are affected. And conversely, how zips like La Jolla aren’t. A lot of us on this board have been wondering for a good year how bad of a beating coastal cities are going to take? I believe Bugs has assured us that all zips will be impacted, but it’s just interesting to see how they hold their value that much longer.
With all this bad news in Chula Vista, I wondered how that new high-end shopping center was doing? Even though I work down there, I have yet to check it out.
March 16, 2007 at 10:42 PM in reply to: In California, Perris is at the epicenter of mortgage problems. #47865ParticipantIt’s a great article.
If you go to the front page of the LA Times, they have pics.
The other nice feature is the ability to enter your zip code, or browse by county, the number of loan defaults. Looks like south county here in SD is taking a beating.

I know it sounds odd, but believe it or not, writing a letter really does help.
ParticipantPerry, Atlas was scheduled for completion last summer! They’ll be lucky if they finish it by this summer. I have no idea what’s taking so long.
I walk past it sometimes, and people have drawn mustaches or blacked out teeth on the women on the promotional billboards that ring the construction site.
It looks like they’ve set up shop on 4th as the sales office across the street in a Victorian.
Participant“What do you mean?”
Hipmatt, I agree with TheBreeze’s final statement: We are merely at the beginning of the decline in housing prices.
ParticipantI agree.
I found this blog linked inside one of OC Renter’s story comments. http://0182eb9.netsolhost.com/blog1/?p=18
This guy used to work for New Century. Has some really fascinating reading. I have no idea why I find the details so titillating, but I do.
He sounds like he has a lot to get off his chest. His wife has been in the industry for years too.
February 26, 2007 at 9:55 PM in reply to: Lets get the nontraditional mortgage guidance adopted in CA #46330ParticipantThanks for this. I wrote him.
I actually really dig writing to our elected officials. They always write me back too. It’s always nice to come home to a letter from The Governator.
ParticipantI would not recommend paying for online advertising. The best results are from organic SEO. If you don’t know anything about Search Engine Optimization, and you’re going to start a web-based business, you need to come up to speed fast. There are some good books about it, and you can also look into http://www.searchenginewatch.com
ParticipantI was just reading OC renter’s blog, and it looks like he had some death threats.
