ParticipantOr all of us stiffs get the same pension plan as them.
I like that one better.
Why should they be the only ones who get a pension?
Participantharvey think of the user with the 3 letter acronym… I like the original username better as well.
ParticipantSo does that mean that all of the delegates Ron Paul has are free to vote for someone else?
ParticipantWell I guess more people come to this blog then go to anything Ron Paul puts on the internet.
ParticipantActually a friend of mine has gone to those auctions for several years and saw dave and darrel many times at them before the show ever began.
ParticipantThis home is a poster child for why some short sales do not get done. First red flag. On the MLS listing history the home went from Active to Contingent status on the first day it hit the MLS. Then the home went from contingent back to Active, in Novement. Then it was moved to Pending. Then on the 28th of April it was moved back to Active with the price moved into the present price range.
My guess is that they had some sort of funny business with the first offer, probably simply to stave off the foreclosure. Did I say there was also a Notice of Trustee sale the week before the home was put on the market? At any rate the listing agent is also someone I have not heard of working for an office I have not heard of. So I think they tried something funky at first, and it didn’t work. So now they are probably scrambling to get another short sale offer into the lender.
Just my guess…
ParticipantParamount not so easy to move to New Zealand, the entry requirements are pretty robust.

ParticipantAgreed on all those. The thing that keeps pulling me to SB are the lots and yard sizes. Santa Luz is nice as well but a little more high end… price wise…
ParticipantOnly access improvement would be to widen Pomerado.
ParticipantI think that a little bit of clarification is in order.
First off, the 12885 home sold for 630k. I always find it comical when people say things like “I have (unsupported)doubt that the Sellers agent helped the particular buyer.
Now the buyer did end up paying 3800 towards the sellers closing costs. The home went contingent within a few days after being listed. Translation, you have to move fast. Finally there was a notice of Trustee Sale on 10/24/11 so they had to move quickly.
13198 Downing Lane is already in Pending Status. The agent does a fair amount of Scripps work and the accepted offer is in the 750k range.
13162 Downing is an REO and just went pending but I don’t know for how much.
It will be interesting to see how the current batch will do. There are several pending and a few contingents. I think there are a couple of the contingents that could indeed for markedly lower then list price due to days on market.
We will see.
ParticipantI agree CAR.
We should blame all of this on BUSH!
ParticipantI think I need to clarify my statement. The take a break was not meant to imply that if you take a break, the market will slow down for you. It is simply a statement that I tell alot of people who become frustrated with the market. The bottom line is that the market doesn’t come to you, you need to go to the market. If you cannot tolerate that and are getting overly frustrated, then why spend all that precious time wasting it seeing homes you will not pay for and refuse to bid on? Can’t that time be better spent doing something else?
If you think that the market is gonna turn sour in an election year then I would suggest that you rethink things. Additionally it has been pointed out that San Diego is not like the rest of the USA. There is a limited supply of newer quality homes, there is a limited supply of more desireable zip codes and school districts, and there are a hell of alot of tech jobs and people who make alot of money.
I am not saying you should overpay for something but in no way do I believe things are going to reverse field in the near future. Now if you have a few years to kill and can wait until interest rates catch up to our unsustainable debt load, well then things MAY change.
ParticipantIt is really tough out there right now. Try to be patient or maybe even take a break.
