cantab, good finds. Some of the fishy ones that sold multiple times can be part of the cashback scam that blew up earlier this year but I am a little shocked that both those are still on the market, those are screaming deals. Whenever you find 03 prices it is worthy of a post so keep it up. If either had been in the zip code I am looking for I would have fired off an offer, good thing I’m the only one willing to buy.

August 11, 2007 at 3:57 AM in reply to: July Foreclosure and trend–huge impact on price in 6 months!? #73196temeculaguyParticipantNo problems in your simplified thinking, major corporations are saying similar things, unprecedented is the latest buzz word in the media. It will not take longer than five years to unwind, may not take two years. If you read many of the other threads, many of us have been suprised at the events of the past two weeks and nobody knows what effect it will have. Look at threads from from six months ago and a lot of posters called for the end of the summer to be an interesting time, turns out they were right. I say sh%@ hits the fan by Christmas. 2-5 years is too conservative at this point, we are in the down cycle now and 2-5 months it will be a whole different ball game.

temeculaguyParticipantSee, this is just the story of our collective lives, these boards are nothing more than a cocktail party we were invited to. We get a hot blonde in here and somehow we manage to piss her off and she bids us farewell. Hotblonde, stay a while, become one of us (come to the dark side, we have cookies). Both SD and sd realtors have weathered the attacks to become driving forces in our collective quest to unravel the markets mysteries. Our resident appraiser and favorite sage Bugs, always enlightens us and routinely finds himself in a skirmish. We have cyphire, perry, HLS, JWM, radelow, rustico and a many more that have a variety of personal and professional experiences that make us all better equipped to understand this mess and without them this place would be nothing. Sure, even a few of the more learned folks have taken their shots at you on this thread but how you handle it is what will give you credibility here, part of it is a test and part of it is to get you to see the other side. Alan threw a sincere question at you, answer it with your expertise and ignore the tempo of the thread, nobody can take your integrity, only you can surrender it. I say stick around, jump in on the next hot topic, learn and teach at the same time. This is the dirty dozen and we are in need of a hot blonde and a broker from Pasadena. If you choose to storm out of the party, thank you for the debate and the compliments.

temeculaguyParticipantkw, that was a trend in new homes up this way in the last few years. There are no pictures but many of the homes recently built in the 2500 to 4000 sq ft range don’t exceed 4 or 5 bedrooms. High bedroom counts can be problematic for neighborhoods (inviting to group homes, multiple families, etc.) Many have an upstairs livingroom at the top of the stairs, the secondary bedrooms are large and there are usually formal and informal living and dining rooms. As far as being close to family members, those usually have a great room where the kitchen, informal dining and informal living room are all one open room. Having lived in one, loved it, having vaccumed one, hated it. I will say the loft/upstairs living room is cool if you have kids and toys that you’d rather not have overtake all of the living spaces or have to clean up everything all the time.

temeculaguyParticipantThis one is already a bank owned, the 200k+ loss is the lender’s loss, we don’t know if the buyer had any skin in the game. 80 days on the market and still no buyer, good thing the banks are made of money and can ride us out. I looked at the pictures and it is a nice place, someone will buy it when they get the price right. In the last downturn I remember lener owned properties always advertised better than market rates and 0 down just to get someone in the house paying, I’m not seeing that this time around, guess they have had their fill of that particular dish.
