I’m pretty impressed by KC 576. It appears to be easily modified to make it handicap accessible. It would have worked on our building site – but is oriented wrong for the views. (We have nice views that are something my in-laws enjoy). And there’s no space for stacked laundry or other “niceties” that make a home more livable.

I notice most of these take advantage of an open living space (living/kitchen flow together) – that makes a HUGE difference in a small house.

I predict that gross sales will be up a few percent from last year, but profits will be lower due to deep discounts and lower margins on those flat screen tvs.

I predict that there will be retailers that eek by through Christmas but still end up closing more stores or even folding/going under in Jan-Apr.

I predict that a lot of people who are in the U3 or U6 catagories – or who have family members in the U3 or U6 catagories will seriously trim their shopping budgets.

But I’m typically very wrong about this stuff.

If you look on Redfin, you can typically tell if it is a short sale or not, as is the case with Yosemite.[/quote]

Another trick on Redfin – as pointed out by Temeculaguy… In the options you can include or exclude short sales – that’s a quick way to see how many props in an area are short sales.

And you used to be able to show/hide contingent offers… but that seems to have gone away from the Redfin options.

[quote=Arraya][quote=briansd1]I don’t see why people are calling for regulations.

The government does not need to regulate more. The government needs to stop bailing stupid business decisions and bad business models.[/quote]

I think you need to watch this documentary.

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/warning/etc/synopsis.html

We didn’t truly know the dangers of the market, because it was a dark market,” says Brooksley Born, the head of an obscure federal regulatory agency — the Commodity Futures Trading Commission [CFTC] — who not only warned of the potential for economic meltdown in the late 1990s, but also tried to convince the country’s key economic powerbrokers to take actions that could have helped avert the crisis. “They were totally opposed to it,” Born says. “That puzzled me. What was it that was in this market that had to be hidden?”

In The Warning, veteran FRONTLINE producer Michael Kirk unearths the hidden history of the nation’s worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. At the center of it all he finds Brooksley Born, who speaks for the first time on television about her failed campaign to regulate the secretive, multitrillion-dollar derivatives market whose crash helped trigger the financial collapse in the fall of 2008.[/quote]
Agreeing with Arraya. That frontline was awesome. I just watched it a few nights ago (tivo’d it.)
