    My friend just bought a second house

    If he bought the SoCal home in the last 2 years he'll be underwater. If the SoCal home was bought 5+ years ago, he'll likely be OK. AZ real estate has stalled like Socal.

    Toll CEO says speculators walking away from contracts

    I don't fault OP for putting this up, it was a release. I agree this is only the tip of the iceberg to hit this particular industry and housing in general. When these guys are bailing out on land deals, you know it's BAD! The fact that it was occurring last year is also true, but, when has...

    Housing Rolling Along 2

    I've said it hundreds of time: To quote national housing as either in a bubble or not is plain crazy. Housing is a regional issue and not national. Nobody living in CA or FL cares what's happening in Salina, KS. No offense to Salina. Just as those in Salina don't generally care about...

    Housing Rolling Along 2

    I don't know about that? My neighbor works for the largest furniture retail outlet in the area and they have 2-5 people a day come in trying to return furniture purchased in the last 12 months. Not the same people everyday either. Their 100% ARM/IO loan reset and basically butsed them out...

    Gentlemen, Start Your Engines!!

    Glad I could make you laugh. I was in a birthday mood and decided to share the Joy! JR comments were the best of all. Talking about how Vickers wasn't known for turning people. He was very matter of fact about it and knows that some of the "family" wins came the same way, whether...

    Gentlemen, Start Your Engines!!

    I've been going with Matt Kenseth. Even though I wouldn't mind seeing Martin win it. Be funny if Martin won it with zero wins. I can hear the crying now. Burton is cool with me as well. Nailing me down ---- 17 As far as JJ goes, I'd pull for Osama, Hugo Chavez, Saddam, Charles...

    Gentlemen, Start Your Engines!!

    And Cheater Chads' driver has run out of talent, wrecking more cars at Dega than the Bodine brother - COMBINED. In fact, he's the one that nailed Edwards from behind, turning him and helping to cause the wreck in turn 1 that took out Gordon. I wonder if ol Chad thought the same thing about...

    true rate of inflation

    ROTFLMAO Not directed at you personally, but, I cracked up when I read that. The govt is the BIGGEST cooker of the books than ANY corporation in the US could aspire to be. The inflation numbers are SO understated, it's not even funny. The reason has already been explained... entitlement...

    Would you buy a house, anywhere in the US, right now?

    Wait a bit. Inventories are WAY upin this area. Lots of borrowers bit off more than they could chew. Here's an observation: I took my nephew to a sports practice the other day. I the parking lot were no less than THREE vehicles with signs proclaiming something to the effect of "Stop...
