ParticipantThanks for the feedback, much appreciated. I will look into the AAdvantage Mastercard. Most of my expenses are business related.
sdrealtor: I’m in Ventura County. The low end got hammered over the last year (700K is now 450K ish), the higher end is now showing the bigger declines on a month-to-month basis. I can buy now for what it costs me to rent, but I am looking for a bottom. Very few houses come up for sale by choice, almost all are distressed. I’m considering starting to look for a good realtor, maybe purchase in Fall. My rental house is in a perfect area (near my son’s school) and I have great landlords, nice house). So no pressure on that front.
My business has slowed, not to the point where I need to lay anyone off, but I am ultra conservative (to a fault). I keep seeing / hearing of lost jobs here, so I am feeling that this economic “bounce” we are seeing (in the market) is based on hot air.

ParticipantAny recommended coin shops? What sort of fees should I expect? How close should I expect to get to the actual price of gold?

November 11, 2006 at 4:32 PM in reply to: I couldn’t convince my neighbor there’s a housing bubble #39779ParticipantI live in a town adjacent to Thousand Oaks; I’ve been closely watching the market since February. Make no mistake, the sold prices are dropping. Pick a property, any property in T.O. on Zillow and look at the comps. They can be arranged in “date sold” order and one can plainly see the dropping prices, especially those in August and September. As you wrote PS, VC is lagging SD. Countrywide is probably the second largest employer in this whole area, behind Amgen. Is there a reason to think this area is different than SD? Not that I have been able to determine. In fact, we may be the region MOST similar to SD.
On the other hand, your neighbor will have strong negotiating power because many sellers are desperate. She should definitiely make VERY lowball offers. There are quite a few properties with NODs, if one compares Zip and Foreclosure.com.
ParticipantBikerider, I love your post and could not agree more.
ParticipantLindi, do you have a web address for Ben’s Blog? I want to be shocked and a little sad too! Thanks in advance.
ParticipantKind of along these lines, there is something I like to do. I go to Foreclosure.com and pull up just the NODs for the zip code I’m looking in. Even though they don’t give the full address or details, one can often match them up with listings on Zip. The more you get to know the listings in your area, the easier it is. It’s a matching game!
ParticipantLostkitty,
After reading your post, I’ve decided to move to NY.
ParticipantIf I took my laptop into the kitchen, I would drop it in the sink. If I took it into the bathroom, I would drop it in the toilet.
