Once again, the press are making my life more and more interesting. Articles over the pass few weeks have flourished, warning that we are not out of the woods yet (WSJ) and that new regulations in the mortgage industry (NYTimes) lowering the cap on US-backed mortgages will hurt the high-end market. I'm not going to say that these articles [...]
I don't understand why some realtors always sell the same story. "This is a great time to sell." "This is a great time to buy." It makes no sense to me how someone could be pushing the same line for the past 5 years, as if the market hasn't changed at all.

That's a 37% discount!Yes, the house needs a little [...]
I never really felt that what I put together was all that good, but here it is. After a request, I decided to write a little draft of what I think are the top 10 things people should look for when selecting a Realtor. It was featured in the latest Junklugger's email blast [...]
This house just came on the market today. For $1.429M you get 2,755 sqft on .29 acres in Riverside. This is actually a great deal when you price it out. The house looks like it is in great condition and in a great neighborhood. The major concern is the proximity to the railroad tracks. I can't for the life of me remember if the odd numbers [...]
I've been following this house for awhile and came close to putting in a bid myself. I think this was a great buy.
