This house would have sold for $400k or so last summer.

LOL- Robert

I am surprised at the speed of this downturn. I was expecting this price per square foot in late 2007.

I've been alone out in front of the speed and lack of stickiness and sales rates. Remember last Sept or so when I laid out the "Silent Spring?" Sure it is taken for granted now but then people thought I was being extreme. Now my predictions of stickiness are coming to pass. Still waiting for the nondescript panel vans to pull up in front of the offices of C&C however. Can't be perfect.

Fred is "like" the lingus in some ways but he doesn't bait individuals and doesn't post enough IMO.

This is so pathetic. What if instead this line read: Seller wants to move out of state to avoid sex predator registration.

This makes the house worth more or less? Ah hah. This is just verbal cookie smell. Unless the selelr is leaving over concerns about the local cancer cluster it doesn't matter why they are leaving.
