Expect a ton of paperwork!

ParticipantSound like you got a heck of a deal. You are near Piedmont? When we were in high school the cops would kindly escort us out of there after they asked us if we lived in the neighbohood and we said no.

Participant[quote=Jazzman][quote=outtamojo][quote=Jazzman]”[T]here is and will for the most part always be people that will step in as buyers …The desireability factor simply makes it so.”
SD, not sure I agree here. I think that willingness is for the most part buyers not realizing the score, and agreeing to buyer broker pressure. I also don’t see desirability as being a huge factor. I have had offers accepted in three highly desirable places, Santa Barbara, Maui, and France WELL BELOW asking price. However, in each case I went against my broker’s advice and beat the so-called odds. Tenacity, patience and a firm belief it’s a buyer’s market is all it takes. Any hint of uninformed buyer competition and you walk away. Home prices are still very over-valued in many high end areas. The housing market has been socialized, and the industry needs to be grateful for the benefit check it receives from the tax payer. So it’s not the market is “a buzz”, as there is no true market, and many realities still haven’t been absorbed by everyone.[/quote]
When offers are accepted “well below” list price is that so much due to only “informed buyers” making offers or dreamy sellers with way too high listing prices? You say desireability is not a factor but I am curious about the days on markets for your properties…[/quote]
Yes and no. There are still many delusional sellers out there, but as I said it is as much about realizing buyers are in a very strong position, and that your broker may not be exploiting that to your best advantage. DOMs are always a factor as is looking for other weaknesses. Why the curiosity with that?[/quote]
Takes me back to the days when I was fighting with other “uninformed buyers” and dreamy sellers that’s all.

Participant[quote=walterwhite]Did I tell you about this shirt I saw a hipstwr kn Portland wearing? It said “it’s going to get worse”. I sent my kid over to ask him where to get one.
Ibought one but it’s a little tight[/quote]
Lighten up on those push-ups.

ParticipantI don’t think gate codes anywhere are a closely guarded secret and I doubt anyone would purchase a landline just to keep them that way- jmho.

Participant[quote=briansd1][quote=CA renter]
Why are some babies born 12 pounds when others are born 7 pounds, and the mother of the 12-pounder gained less weight and ate fewer calories than the mother of the 7-pounder?There is far more that we DON’T know than what we do know. Until you’ve lived with someone who suffers from these weight problems (and know for a fact that they have almost identical diets to siblings who are “skinny” or “muscular”), you cannot understand what some of us are talking about. You have to see it first-hand to grasp what’s going on with some overweight people.[/quote]
CA renter, if one child is fat, why not teach that child to eat less and substitute foods that have more volume and less calories?
For example while the other kids have croissants and butter, the fat child should have plain oat meal with water. Sounds extreme, but wouldn’t that be better than a lifetime of obesity?
If you had a child who had trouble keeping up in school, would you not give that child some remedial education?
Why do different people have to eat identical diets, as you put it? It’s obvious that different students have to study different amounts to achieve the same results.
I have a friend who’s trying to lose weight. Everytime I talk to him it’s all exercise and healthy eating… When I visit, I see frozen lasagna in the fridge. People will sneak around and eat without telling anyone.[/quote]
I agree.In the end, you have to do what you have to do – anything else is just making excuses. That said, it’s been hell trying to lose the extra 10-15 pounds or so I have on : )
