R.O.
I forgot to ask,why specifically open houses? The vast majority do not identify houses they think are good deals or that they buy, via open houses.

I get the impression that you are not seeing some of the good stuff that happens here(on the blog), both towards coaching people who are buying or selling, including helping people decide not to do either.
I like your idea or some version of it. i just want to point out that there is already plenty of good information sharing here, once an area merits it or when someone specifically brings it up. Take the active Murrieta thread for instance and threads by Raptorduck and others who admit they are shopping.

R.O.
I have actually thought about a pitch thread. Another realtor on the board and I have discussed it via e-mail. Our consensus was that I should run it by the blogmaster.I decided not to. It is not that I am saying you should, just pointing out that this idea has been considered.Yours truly thinks there will be good deals long before the bottom and therefore long before that sentiment shifts.

I actually can see your idea having a good purpose here. Sentiment is going to be tough still and for the most part, rightfully so IMO. I believe that most people here don’t want to watch the “knife catching olympics”(credit TG). I wonder if this idea of pitching properties won’t be more commonly accepted when people start to get off the fence.
Who knows? Maybe you have picked the right time and place?

BTW, I have a can’t miss, property to sell you R.O.

New-renter,
I have always felt that there were two bubbles. The first normal one and the second a fluke based on the easy financing. So I started getting really concerned In 2003.

“That was also about the time I stopped doing flips/rehabs as I began to fear what may have been coming down the road.”
Good for you too. You couldn’t have timed it better.

All this FHA limit tells me , so far, is that they are laying the ground work for inflation to have some room this sector of the mortgage market. One day down the road these limits will need to get raised again. What will housing cost then?

Also the O.P. said his agent told him limits were going to go to 650K in CA. I can’t find that surfing the web. Does anyone have the a link?
