Really there are no bad pits… Just owners! But the bad PR is here to stay.I love dogs but even around pits I am cautious because YOU NEVER KNOW what the owner has taught that dog to be.
[/quote]This is so true. Example – I was at dog beach in OB with friends (one of whom had a dog.) Two pitbull puppies came over. They were about 6-8 months old – so they were big enough to have some mass & muscle…. One started peeing in my beach bag, the other started peeing on my friend’s head (she was asleep, sunbathing.) Obviously we freaked out.
The owner made NO motion to get his pit bull pups away. No effort to chastise them, redirect them… etc. The owner was a jerk and was training his dogs to behave badly in public. He actually gave them affection/pets when we finally shooed them away from peeing on us and our stuff.
I’ve equated pitbulls with idiot/rude owners ever since. Unfortunately, my further encounters have reinforced this view. I don’t blame the dogs, I blame the owners.

ParticipantEven UC gets the bargains… this one closed yesterday for $515k.

Issues with it – dated interior, on a feeder street. (Not *the* main drag of UC – but definitely a busier street that feeds a sub-neighborhood.)I know of a house that might be priced in your range, that should be listed in the next few days – (friends just had their offer accepted on another house)… I don’t know the price yet – but I’ll pm you the link if it meets your criteria. It’s a nice house – nicely updated. Only reason their moving is the backyard wouldn’t accomodate a pool.

ParticipantI would think the swarms of “little turtles” crossing that bridge, overwhelming all in their path, in the summer would be more hazardous… but their timing is reasonably predictable. (When tide’s high, they can’t cross through the water.)

Participantsdc- sorry to hear it didn’t work out.
[quote=captcha]It goes both ways. As a seller you worry that you are not getting the top dollar simply because you caved in too quickly. Rarely a buyer gets to buy for exactly as little as the seller was willing to sell for, and the seller rarely sells for as much as the buyer was willing to pay.[/quote]
[quote=sdrealtor]I’ll have to disagree that RE transactions are adversarial. When done properly in many cases you have two satisfied parties each looking for a fair deal and each very pleased with the outcome. BTW, I dont beleive in dual agency and can count on one hand no make that one finger how many times I’ve done it (there was one case where it actually made sense for all parties)[/quote]Friends just went into escrow. I know the house and felt it was overpriced. So did they – so their first offer was on the low side… it went back and forth 4 times – finally settling “within the range”…. but not at the top.
But she said something about the final negotiation that had a ring of truth…
“Both sides are unhappy with the price – which means it’s probably the right price.”
