thought this was done already? And Darkhorse kept his word and stopped at 1000 (but may have passed Don and definitely passed Chas in word volume).

Do you think that the perceived value of a property is, or even should be objective? What is of great value to me may be of no value to you. Possibly even what is a tremendous asset for me may be a big liability to you. This being the case, you may be anxious to sell because you perceive no...

Yeah, well I knew YOU would know:)

When was the last time this happened to residential housing?...(not specific to one economically impacted market)....I mean has there been a nationwide bust because of high mortgage rates? Thanks!

Quick quiz... There is only one country in the Middle East in which arab women have the right to vote. Name that country...

I understand that a home should not be looked at as an investment. I agree. It is just that it seems an unusual time. I have only been in my house for 3 years. Because I have a mortgage (like most people), it is a leveraged "investment". I put down 10%, and now the value of the house has gone up...

Is this a serious question/statement? If so, then I guess you don't know the rules. No one knows those locations. The kids on the ships can call home and send e-mails, but they can't ever say where they are. Except when they are in port.

You are on the gulf coast? For some reason I always imagined you were SE Fla....no basis...just what I thought (guess I am a percentage player)

I agree that todays' solution (Yucca Mt.) is ridiculous. I lived in Nevada and it is a scary thing. But I do believe that the technology should not be just abandoned. Yeah, we got ahead of ourselves and have been for 50 years because of the stated problems. But solutions for disposition of the...

I do...most Fridays and every Saturday. But Chas, where did this come from?

Right....no "kinder gentler" crap!

Because???

yup...believe me, no joke....I could easily kick back and live with no pressure. Drive an old beater, live in a trailer. Would be a welcome relief in a lot of ways. Spend a lot of time on the golf course, and go home and sleep. A comfortable bed, a widescreen tv, a decent barbeque grill and a...

You make your own rules, so you get to change them too. But the danger is changing them "on the fly". If you find that your rules aren't working, then by all means re-evaluate them and change as needed. But not in mid stream. That will just put you into that "spiral". Discipline becomes a joke...

I also had bad timing selling my first home.But I still made a little. I was just early. The home I sold 11 years ago for 140k is now worth (I hear) over 300. But I lived in it for 4 years, and made 12k on it, so I can't really complain. The profit covered more than 25% of my mortgage while I...

Yes, of course they are...with good strong local union shops too!:D

Originally posted by chisel I rent my house. I refuse to pay the agent's 6% fee Sellers pay the commision, not the buyer. So how does that affect you? but if I can buy a house for half price in the next 5-10 years (maybe less), I'm way ahead of the game. PLUS I can use (what would have...

A lot of trades in a short time frame does not equate to experience. It can't be rushed. Making 10 trades a day for 4 years or making 20 is, IMO pretty much the same thing. Making 20 for 2 years is not equal to 10 for 4 years. It doesn't add up that way. Would be nice though. Trade odd lots like...

If interest rates go up, it would be to control inflation. In an inflationary environment, why would housing prices decrease? This is part of the dilemma....What goes on the market gets sold immediately. Seems overheated to me, but how do you know how long it can continue?

I KNEW you were a great humanitarian...the personification of THOUGHTFULNESS!!!
