Beating a dead horse: Open Houses - 08/31/10 11:01 PM
Colleen doesn't seem to like doing open houses much. I can never make up my mind about them. Sellers (especially the ones who want to over-price their home) seem to think they are great.
Via Coleen DeGroff - Haile Plantation Real Estate - Gainesville FL - (Coldwell Banker M.M. Parrish):
I was just reading thru the comments on Rebecca Diamond's post about Open Houses (which I agreed with wholeheartedly by the way) and somebody here made a great point....it's not whether open houses work or not.....it's whether they work for US.
And as long as it IS disclosed to a seller that the … (2 comments)

If you are nearing a time when you will need to sell your home, you might be scared by what you read online and hear on the news. Rightfully so, too — it is a rough time to be a seller in many markets in Central Texas near Austin.
So, if you are coming upon a job transfer, or need to move to find new work, you may not have a choice but to sell. Maybe you don't want the hassle of being an absentee landlord. Or maybe you can't get enough rent to cover … (3 comments)

Visiting open houses this weekend? Be honest with on-site agents - 08/29/10 09:17 PM
Visiting open houses this weekend? Be honest with on-site agents
If you listen closely at all, you will hear real estate agents bemoan or praise the open house as a marketing tool.
"I never sell the house I am showing that day"
"I only do them to get buyer clients who never buy that house"
"It's a waste of my time"
You can certainly make arguments for agents and how open houses work for them, but one thing seems certain -- people love them! And what's not to love!

This is a tough world we live in, for at least the roughly 10 percent of the people in the U.S. who are unemployed. What does that mean for the other 90 percent? It means there can be great deals. Sure, you could look at it like you are profiting from others' misfortunes.

Five things that can save your closing day - 08/29/10 08:52 PM
Five things that can save your closing day
Here are five things to consider to save closing time:
1) Don't rely on the existing survey without checking it yourself. (Sometimes lenders will get wind of changes and request a new one the day before closing -- but they can take 2 weeks to schedule).
2) Think ahead for last-minute bumps. Pepper your lender with questions about the kinds of things that have tripped up deals at the last minute for other folks.
3) Don't buy a car. Or a dishwasher. Or a piece of lumber. OK, that's a stretch, but you … (3 comments)

Tired of the "strategic default" discussion? Me, too
It never seems to end. Both sides feel strongly. But sadly, once again I am the only one who is correct. I almost get tired of being right so often!
OK, so what we have here is a big mess. Many people, and many corporations, and the federal government, are to blame. So are consumers. What we have here is a failure to communicate!
Big business -- lenders, governments, department stores, chemical companies, oil companies -- make "strategic default" decisions every day. It is not only OK, it is EXPECTED by shareholders.

Double-dip housing bust? Heck, the first one's not done - 08/26/10 01:25 PM
Great points were made in John Mulkey's featured post about the false double-dip in the housing market.
"I think when economists start becoming cheerleaders, it becomes very difficult to take them seriously." — That was the comment I left on his post. And it's true!
It seems like the vocal economists of 2009 acted like they had vested interests in the market improving. Certainly, I always ignore government economists, but there were a lot of highly-regarded economists from the private sector who spoke of the "bottom" in 2009 and who look really foolish now.
