PerryChaseParticipant
As the regulars here know, I’m a proud card carrying liberal. And I support equal pay for women and other women’s causes.
I didn’t mean to be sexist. But I do think that there’s truth to this. I’ve seen a lot of women influence home purchases. I also see men who are executives but have to check with their wives for everything — like dinner on Friday. Maybe it’s just the people I know.
This is a sensitive issue but I’d be willing to bet that, if asked, Realtors would confirm this in confidence (so as not to offend their biggest customers).
For what it’s worth, I don’t think it’s something inherent in the female sex, but it’s how women are socialized.
I think that men were also complicit in creating this bubble because they thought they could do little a sweat equity and become rich. Make the wife happy by giving her the house she wants; a little paint and elbow grease and the family gets to move on and on up the property ladder.
In a declining or stagnant market, my suspicion is that husbands would more likely restain their wives’ nesting urges (or the other way around as some posters wrote).

PerryChaseParticipantI’m afraid to direct anyone I know to Piggington because they’ll recognize me and see my true colors. In real life, I don’t talk about real estate and just listen to people babble away. (I only give input to very close friends and family).

August 16, 2007 at 9:12 AM in reply to: End Result of this debacle…US financial industry loses face? #76272PerryChaseParticipantIt’s been happening slowly and this will accelerate the decoupling.
America is the world best customer and financier. However, as foreigners lose their money in America, they are bound to look for new places to invest their money. What would you do?
Our failure in Iraq also add to the loss of American prestige and influence.
The world has factories. All we have left is services. If foreigners lose confidence in America, we won’t have much of a competitive advantage.

PerryChaseParticipantI would think that the recorders’ office should be the most up to date. The data aggregators have to buy the data from the County.
——
I would stop paying the rent with the reasoning that I no longer know who the legal owner of the property is. Put the rent money aside in a separate account and have it ready to pay the rent if needed. And to show your good intentions if a court orders you to pay.
What is the landlord going to do? He won’t even bother to evict you because he’s losing the house himself.
Consider the rent “savings” compensation for all the trouble and worries.
