Ya, the market is crazy here right now. Our house in Lemoore (which now a rental) was up for rent for 1 day and that same day someone came in and wanted it and got it.

our market is hyper too. i read an article that claimed world-wide there's inflated house pricing, and it's just a big balloon waiting for a pin. hey, when interest rates are at 60 year lows, i guess that's gonna happen. the moment they spike up, it's gonna be scary.

Hmmm. This market is so wacked. I've read a lot of the news about the real estate market being like the Dot Com Bubble in the 90s.
The people who took out interest only loans could be a in REAL world of hurt. Only protection they would have is if they have fixed mortgages with a low rate. Rates are up over a point this last year.

I know, hopefully it won't take long for it to sell.

I don't look forward to the move[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Hopefully, we won't sell our house until we are moved into the other house. That way, I only have to move 1 room at a time[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] I hate asking people to help too[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

Yeah, it's pretty much insane. I've given up buying a house here. Friends are talking about Texas and Iowa. I don't know about those Texas people.

He'd make $1 more an ahour but she'd be about $1 less so it's a wash. But the housing is nothing compared to here.
Another friend who's a draftsman is probably going to be moving to Dallas. He got called by a head hunter. He's happy where he is so he added $10K to what he makes and they accepted. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

Last week the Modesto area was rank #3 in the nation on excessive housing prices. Housing in this area is over priced 53% [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]
I think Fresno/Clovis was like #9, forget what % though[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

Have a buddy moving from Seattle to Sac at the end of the month. Movers wanted $2K. He's gonna get a U-Haul...$600 most likely.
Last time I moved it took me the better part of a month it seemed.
Take this time to get rid of stuff. I move again, I'm calling for a roll-away tub. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

We negotiated with our agent. He's making 2%. Which still equates to a pretty good profit.
