Shiller

We have been waiting for the case shiller: click

we see 2521 N.E. 32nd. the harvest gold stove model has price reduced to 808k. still way over priced in my view, and that... is why homes are overpriced. 1. they were either bought in the "heat" of the bubble or they were indebted and used like piggy banks. perfect example.

speaking of pigs, in pokes that is: click be careful out there.

Foreclosures

I got a question, what good is mediation if the person doesnt want the home any longer or can't afford to pay it??click

walking away: click

which comes to mind. all the online auctions we saw were highly indebted properties that were in no way worth anything close to the starting auction price. Note: we didnt do a long and detailed look. But wouldn't it stand to reason that is the case, that's why the property is being foreclosed???

we saw 66 NE 11th way sold. orig asking price 878k, sold for 817. which is way more than I would have paid for it. click and 18k plus taxes a year.

bigger

The bigger they are the harder they fall: click

We talked to a used house salesmen yesterday about the reality of the market.
Here is what he said. There are lots of people with 2 million plus cash looking but they want to buy a 4 million house. answer: wouldn't you ?? I would be doing same thing if I was in that situation. Problem is, not many sellers with 4 million dollar homes are that motivated. Thus there are 52 plus homes around here for sale.

We looked at the online auction. What appears to be.. they are auctioning off for the amounts owed and in my opinion on the few that I looked at, were way over mortgaged and not worth the auction price. But we didn't spend a lot of time there.

more later our internet connection has been down most of the am.

More walking away

Miami condo owner;click

We are going to watch the online auction at click the post reported 700 people signed up as far away as italy. I have two questions, how do you know that you are not buying an empty shell that has been vandalized. 2.it appears that auction price is what is owed and instances we have looked at is way more than what the property is worth. I will have a look and report back.

we read today:
"About 5.1 million mortgage holders (or roughly 10% of Americans with mortgages) will own homes that are worth 75% or less than what they owe on their mortgages by mid-June. This is the conclusion of a new study by First American CoreLogic"

forclosure folly:

bad sign for foreclosures, credit cards first.

tracks

It seems we are right on track with the seeking alpha article in our reading room.
quoted 2010:" buyers emerge, as this must be the bottom "in 2014 they predict prices to go to 1994 levels. I am still amazed. I can just hear it now, "this is the bottom, this property is 50 percent off what it was a couple of years ago, prices will never be at this level again, you had better buy now, or you will miss the bottom, in a couple of years this house will be back to those levels" all spoken by someone who has a fiduciary interest in you... believing these statements. hook line and sinker.

this one is being adverted as 86 percent off. and great deal.... of of what... a hugely inflated price?
check price history:
Price Reduced: 06/04/08 -- $1,299,000 to $1,199,500
