Participantbear, I’d say you described me and my strategy exactly but I agreed earlier in the thread to stop bragging.
I’m actually holding out for more, I want sub 300k, you once predicted a possibility of $75 a square in Morgan, we are seeing that just outside it’s boundaries so it’s very likely I can catch a 2900 sq fter for 260 or 270, there are a few right now at 320-350, so my goal is attainable, possibly this winter, i think. With those numbers i’d feel safer that I caught a butterknife. For two years i’ve only looked at about four tracts in Redhawk and two in Wolf on the Southern side by the sports park, but with the constant fall in prices, The HOA and Taxes of Morgan don’t sting as bad.

My one problem is that I never really looked seriously at Morgan when they were new, only toured maybe one or two of the models so I am not even sure who built what or what the floorplans were like. I don’t want to tour them with a realtor so it’s hard to develop intel, I’m hitting open houses these days to get a feel for it. I still debate it because most of the houses are around 3000 sq ft and up and I’d prefer 2300-2600. The 2900’s I linked are that absolute largest I’d entertain but sub 300k, I’ll just close off some rooms, duct tape the vent and pretend.

ParticipantSD, I know there has always been conspiracy theories about phantom inventory and I am not one of those who believe the banks are in collusion, but I am so confused lately. I track the trustee sales, in my zip code there will be 50 this week actually going back to the bank and available to be listed the next day. For three months there has been 25-50 a week, yet about 10-20 get listed. These aren’t short sale delays or reworks, they are over and done with, sitting vacant, I’m stalking a few right now. Is it just that their REO people are getting crushed right now with work, they can’t hire some of the unemployed former mortgage brokers? I know of many properties that went back to the bank in May and are still sitting, unlisted, what kind of a plan is that? “let’s leave it until the spring bounce is over and we can lose another 20%.” Or maybe the lawn isn’t dead enough for them. If this is how they do business then they deserve to be out of business. It’s frustrating as hell. It took them 9 months to get it back and they just let it sit, mindboggling. And then when they do list it, they pick some realtor from L.A. who barely speaks english, doesn’t know jack about the house or area, quotes comps from miles away, posts a single blurry picture of the outside, it happens all the time, it’s killing me.

ParticipantDel Mar Fair if he will be here soon, go on a weekday. He’s on the bubble age wise for legoland same age bubble for hooters (at 14 that’s a gimme, but twelve it’s borderline), Wild Animal park is probably hot as hell right now. Depending on where he is from, buy him a $40 boogie board at costco and hit the beach. You send a kid home with a sunburn, a boogie board and some surf t-shirt and he will be like a rockstar when he gets back to Kansas.

ParticipantIt’s a good thing that the allergy doesn’t extend to cigars, that would be tragic and reason enough to find a good alergist. Now that you know what it means, you are going to notice it everywhere until the no cal kids think of a new name for the hippy lettuce.
