Participant[quote=no_such_reality]The reality is it all depends on the rules instituted and enforced for the matches. Tough call, would I rather my kid was trained and in an MMA match with well thought out combat rules or on the field with the kids of some of the foaming at the mouth parents I’ve seen just screaming win at the kid…[/quote]
I agree. The benefits of martial arts are many and for some boys with an overabundance of aggression, it can provide an awesome outlet for energy that could otherwise be misplaced outside of a competition.
As long as it takes a martial arts approach and not the gang-banger approach, it could be OK. A smart, strong organization behind the tournaments can make it all good. The wrong parents or instructors can make it all bad.
ParticipantWhile solitude is awesome for creativity, it isn’t such a good environment for generating sales.
ParticipantBase salary vs. total compensation ? Is a bonus added on ? Negotiation room ?
ParticipantIt isn’t $125K overpriced for Clairmont. It is $125K overpriced for CV.
Just because I can do a deal doesn’t mean I should.
Participantbg – that was an error. Thanks for noticing it. I fixed it. Only 2 short.

Well, ya. an inventory of 1 is enough if it is the right house.
First thing to note – the < $1M filter gets down to 14 homes right off the bat. My personal search results which filter on objective things gets me to 6. Of those 6, I could live in 2 of them. My wife could also live in two of them, with an overlap of 1. The 1 we could both live with is overpriced by $120,000. So, no. 60 (44, actually) is not enough.
ParticipantAn update for you. Wanted to get this done before the MASSIVE onrush of inventory that is coming to CV after the Super Bowl !!!!
62 homes for sale in 92130. 2 of them short.
< $1M. 16 for sale. 2 short. > $1M. 46 for sale. No short sales.Grrr. Down from 81 in late Nov.
I’m going to change my stats from 92130 to Carmel Valley Middle School. Redfin boundary isn’t quit right, but it’ll have to do. This cuts out a bunch of $2-million+ homes just south of San Dieguito road and an awkward section of 92130 that is in the Poway District.
44 homes for sale in CVMS area. 2 of those are short.
< $1M. 16 for sale. 2 short. > $1M. 28 for sale. No short sales.ParticipantActually, my new prediction is – your event horizon will hit the day after I close escrow.
Participant[quote=paramount]It goes without saying that the housing market is heavily manipulated, and I tend to agree with shoveler – I think an event horizon is definitely approaching.
Some type of Lehman~ish shock event.
[/quote]I feel the same thing, but “the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.” Because of this, I have found, that very smart people are often quite early with their predictions. They see the inevitable and logical conclusion coming sooner than anyone else, but the market takes its time getting there.
Plus, the timing of such event horizons are very difficult to predict, especially with so much energy focused on preventing it.
Look at Europe. The doomsday was supposed to happen two or three years ago. It is still a mess, but the event horizon has been pushed off and pushed off and pushed off. That could still be pushed off for many more. The US, as debt-ridden as it is, is not even as far along as Europe was three years ago. Japan – been going along for 25 years now in their own economic funk. 25 years. Not even worth planning.
Some say the future holds massive inflation like Zimbabwe. Some say deflation like Japan. Well, if it isn’t clear which it is, can an event horizon really be that close ?
As for me, I’m pretty much in a position where I have to buy a move-up house this year. As such, my predictions will always be to the wish-ful thinking bearish side, even though the inventory situation indicates otherwise 🙂
I’m not religious but I pray for inventory every day.
Participant[quote=DataAgent][quote=sdduuuude]What prompted you to say “Sequestration appears likely” ?[/quote]
Paul Ryan says it will happen:

“If we keep going down this path we will have a debt crisis … this isn’t a Republican or a Democrat thing. It’s a math thing.”

If companies don’t pay the sponsorship, they will spend the money on other marketing vehicles. If sponsorships are a more efficient way of marketing than other alternatives, then they have the effect of reducing the cost of the products, really.[/quote]
That’s a new one. Advertising and marketing reduces costs. I suspect there is no evidence to support that claim.[/quote]
A failed attempt to put words in my mouth.
I said that one form of advertising costs less than another.
