Saturday Follies <link>

Know where you are moving the stuff yet?

Oklahoma is a great place to live.

Maybe... We have a bid in on a place and are awaiting their decision... .(ie: Stop laughing at my lowball offer in a sellers market ).. Don't want to derail the karma wheel by yelping too soon. 'If' we do get this place... y'all are welcome to come and visit.... Jeff (and unpack ) Rice

They say its a buyers market !!!!!!!!!

Zinvest does appraisals by street, and you can look at an address and see each home from the air.. They also show a chart of what each house was worth last year vs. this year. The guuy behind me went from $920,000 down to $565,000 over this past year. I did not take such a huge hit, mine dropped $102,000 over last year.

But that is up here, where prices are falling like rain

I hate to ask this, but did you video-inventory everything as it was loaded?

what street number is your place on tornado alley?

I sure wish the prices would drop in the Burnsville, Spruce Pine, Micaville and Marion, N.C. areas so I don't have to mooch motorhome space from relatives or pay rent at the Moose Lodge Campground!

It's turned in to a buyers' market around here too (just when we decided to list). Paul Johnson

Hey, they told me the following....

A) 8000# max. B) Put the heavy stuff in the middle.

I told Rick that my fear was them havong a relief valve in the lift gizmo (They label them "PodZilla'") that it won't pick up more than 8000#... My real fear was having to unload it and reload it for balance.

Rick thinks it's on the light side so far. I am undecided.

Jeff

Thanks for the thoughts Lenny... I've moved about every ten years or so, so the routine is pretty standard. Stupid thing is we are moving several boxes that were unopened from two moves ago... Jeff

Willow.com does the same. Street by street appraisals. My son is buying in the Denver market and so far all the realtors he has talked to are claiming its a buyers market. MikeW.

Then throw them out, just shows you did not need the stuff :)

patience grasshopper.. its supposed to happen across the country..the bubble is gonna bust a bit.. and pity the people with an ARM --Shiva--

I can't tell you how happy I am that I was able to lock in at 5.33% 2 years ago.

I was talking to someone in Phoenix who said that houses that used to turn in a week are now on the market for and average of 3-4 months. He said new construction is selling for almost any lowball offer because of the overbuilding in the area. With gas at $3.00/gallon people aren't quite as willing to move from 10 miles to work out to 25 miles to work.
