NoBailout.org was a nice add :)
Does anyone know of a Portland (Oregon) bubble site, or anything close?
Damn, this reminds of me stock down grades. Once Rio Linda gets its own bubble blog I'll know we've hit the bottom, and for more than one reason :)
Drudge headline...
Merrill Lynch Reports Loss on $8.4 Billion Writedown
Oct. 24 (Bloomberg) -- Merrill Lynch & Co. reported the biggest quarterly loss in its 93-year history after taking $8.4 billion of writedowns, almost double the firm's forecast three weeks ago.
It's getting nasty out there! Does anyone know how to spell recession?
Jeff,
It totally reminds me of the old "guess the burnrate" pools we had where we'd try pick the date the firm blew through the last of the venture cash and closed the doors. Those were fun.
My funny of the evening was reading (on the HGTV RE blog) that REOs and foreclosures will not impact sellers prices.
bwhahahaha, great comedy out there.
The non-distressed sellers' asking prices are still high on initial listings. Recently, a woman told us what she was asking and when we told her that the same floor plan around the corner was selling for almost $100,000 less, her reply (in her snootiest possible voice) was, "Well, they *have* to sell."
You have to keep in mind that, for sellers who insist on using a realtor, those ridiculous asking prices are heavily influenced by the person looking to get the commission.
Bless you, Lander.

That, and when Patrick, OCRenter, and myself actually buy a place.
If only... :)
"That, and when Patrick, OCRenter, and myself actually buy a place."
That'll be the day :) According to the bubble blog critics, we all do this for fun and have no real interest in actually buying, haha.
I have every intention of buying when we get to a point that won't cripple me for years to come.
Phoenix is like North Scottsdale as Sacramento is like Saratoga....different worlds. I'm waiting for the N. Scottsdale and Saratoga bubble blogs.
