I believe the White House was against the plan to raise the limits, but agreed to allow it to get the rest of the package passed. Obviously Paulson and company did not see the risks.

So the Bush Administration did indeed sign on the dotted line for raising the limits. Anybody can say anything, but it’s not until the signature hits the paper does it really matter.

Raising the conforming limit was a serious, serious error.

The FNMA/10-year spread would be much smaller had the Congress not made that mistake…

I think you mean Congress and the Bush Administration.

When I moved 3 years ago I picked a place that was within walking distance of free transportation to my place of business.

Expect this trend to increase with gas prices (and jingle mail).

The real problem, however, is its not just a transportation issue. Oil is used in shipping, industry, farming, manufacture, etc. So even jerks like me that don’t drive every day end up paying for it one way or another.

I agree with kewp – homes close to employment centers will continue to become more and more valuable as energy costs rise. Whether it is oil or some other energy source, energy can’t help but become more and more expensive as time passes.

That is one of the primary reasons we decided not to buy or even look much in Fallbrook, Ramona or Temecula. Too far from our employment – and most potential future buyer’s employment – which would increase commute time/costs and decrease our future resale value.

Which energy source we use is something for the various technologies to duke out. Where you choose to live in order to be best prepared for future increases in energy costs is more a choice you can make.

One thing that may offset this somewhat but not completely: the increased use of telecommuting.

jp, that Shawnee home is unbelieveable. As someone said, no pics at all would have been preferable!

And Alabama street reminds me that I am not sure how realtors do it – looking at the strange things people do to their homes day in and day out.

When we go into house hunting mode, we are always amazed at just how many people have ruined or severely damaged the value of their home through dumb, poorly thought out modifications. The older the home, the more likely you are to see these things.

We still talk about the home we toured with naked lady wallpaper and the home with an exterior-type glass sliding window in the hallway – with the living room on one side and a hallway on the other! Both homes were in Penasquitos.
