ParticipantFry’s and Wal-Mart can pick up the slack for best buy IMO, but interesting, I was in Fry’s last week to buy a 42″ flat screen to replace the 52″ that died, they seemed really happy to see me buy something (anything!!), had 3 guys tripping over themselves to help me, even escorted me up to the cash register.
Looked online but it was like one third the price just to have it shipped, so online buying big items does not work IMO.
ParticipantI think it has more to do with Europe than earnings at the moment, But I think you may get a bounce off Alcoa as well if nothing else bad comes up. In the end I think they will magically find enough (limitless cash) to feed the monkey on their back in Europe at least until after the election or they figure we (the U.S.A) will be able to take up the slack, so any downturn I think will be somewhat limited as well (In My opinion anyway)
North Korea launches that thing could be a little spooky especially if we bring it down.April 9, 2012 at 3:54 PM in reply to: Where is the inventory, where is the inventory, where is the inventory… #741319ParticipantWhen the builders build in the area you are looking, what are the prices they are asking and what features are they including?
There is your answer as to when current non-distressed owners will come off the bench and decide to list IMO.

If another down turn were to occur in the economy then I think there will be more distressed homes on the market.
I think we would need to get within 10-15% of peak before you get current non distressed owners to voluntarily come off the bench in mass. The problem with that is the few distressed homes that do trickle onto the market keep the comps down so there would be a lot of difficultly getting someone qualified for a loan at that amount.Builders same, I think they need to clear 15-20 percent or so after land/entitlements building costs etc… Before they will come off the bench as well.
ParticipantCirca 2000 blow off ?
I guess time will tell.
Greece, Spain and maybe France looking shaky again , now you got North Korea and Syria as well as IRAN.
If we get a bear then you may get your chance at the Move up property flu ,
But Ben will put QE3 into action at that point as well so most likely manipulated and muted markets.
My guess Apple will start to feel a lot more competition, I saw something that Google makes 2 Dollars per Android where as apple makes several hundred dollars per Iphone.ParticipantSaw this, May be this has something to do with it.
Interesting almost all SoCal with the exception of Ventura are on the top ten in population growth.
So much for the theory that everyone is fleeing SoCal in droves.

I don’t get it…Someone writes on a blog step by step how to take a bunch of prepackaged foods, put them into a plastic bag, and vacuum seal them (with a device that is a wannabe foodsaver+ I might add)… as a “Make your own MRE”…This should have been a 2-3 sentence line in a blog..”Find your favorite dried food, put them in a bag, vacuum seal them, and label them appropriately…” But man, the dude wrote an entire page on this “procedure”….
I’m looking for survival guide #2, in which the guy blogs.
“How to make your own porta-potty.”…complete with illustrations too.“Step 1: find a bush.. Step 2: bring a toilet paper roll.. Step 3, 4, 5, 6….”
:)[/quote]Seriously, it pays to be on a septic system,
When they had that big wind storm that hit Arcadia and surrounds hard last year and they lost power for a week or so,
The sewer pumps were out as well, it backed up and started coming into the lower homes.
I would Say LOL but it was not funny (well at least for them).ParticipantAlso IMO
Depending on Stock market returns to fund your retirement is scary. Just saying, those NY bankers never stop thinking of ways to separate you from your money.
JMHO.ParticipantMaybe only one of you retire then the other start either some passive or mostly passive Business ?
That way you don’t go cold turkey.
It’s amazing what you can do when you work as a team, even when ones in the office most of the day.But I really like the wild mustard greens Idea, got to get rid of those things before summer anyway.

I think that attitude will definitely increase your odds
There are cosmic forces at work always trying to trip us up (Well at least in my experiences).
We will know if you comeback on Monday talking about all the little people in your life and how much you appreciate them.ParticipantFallbrook/bonsall the area’s close to the 76 seem very buildable and there is quite a bit of land there yet, I could imagine 100-200K population there someday, they are getting the 76 ready I think for some of that expansion already.
The hilly/Rocking north/east areas are definitely much much harder to build on, especially as you get into De-luz
But there is still quite a bit of buildable land,
I think eventually (20+years) there will be a rail that serves the TV/Fallbrook areas and connects to the Oceanside metro.
Is it good/Bad don’t know, but it IS inevitable.ParticipantNew or old they are all bottomless money pits.
Participant[quote=UCGal][quote=Hobie]C-mon. Where else can you pay a buck and buy several days of dreaming? Cheaper than drinking 😉
[/quote]Also some math… Buying 1 ticket improves your odds infinitly. From zero to great than zero.
Buying the 2nd ticket is a suckers bet… but that first ticket gets you in the game.[/quote]+1
Several days of dreaming of massages and umbrella drinks on tropical beaches.
Definitely worth a dollar.Participant[quote=bearishgurl][quote=The-Shoveler]Funny, I was just on the phone with a colleague, said he was coming down to TV to look for future retirement home and spend some time at Pechanga.
Pechanga has to be the biggest draw for newbees comig to TV.[/quote]
I’m curious as to where your “colleague” lives now.[/quote]
Simi Valley (in L.A. well actually in Ventura County, but really L.A.)
Nice enough place but fairly expensive for what you get 25-30 miles from the coast.
Cost 600K to get some that cost around 300 in TV. Actually hotter than TV a lot of the time in the summer there. -
