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 know what you mean about garage sales, I hate them too[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img] Wife on the other hand. We do doante a lot to charity, Goodwill.

Oh I feel your pain, my family just moved to a bigger house about 15 miles away from our old house. We have lived in the new house now for 2 weeks and still are living out of boxes [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Moving sucks, IMO!

But Im sure your kids will find it quite interesting. But Congrats, Im sure it will be well worth it!!
Thanks DQ[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

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]

Not around here[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Would need to travel travel atleast 45 mins east to get anything like that. And that is not much of a house. What you described is on 3 acres and cost about $1.3 million[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.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]
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. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Iowa, maybe. Buddy is a machinist and his gf is umm a job specialist I guess. Helps to find people work. 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]
I just can't see how people can do it, I mean starting out. I think a lot of it has to do with the imagination of the finance companies[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

We are both from Chicago. We talk about going back there. Right now, the kids are the priority so, we will make do in the rat race here[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Congrats on the new house. I've already moved someone this year. I only move once a year. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.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]
Thanks b&rw[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

We've been here for 16 years[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] So, we gotsalot of stuff to move[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

And I like the roll-away tub[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] does a roll-away spa work[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] I gots one of them[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

b&rw, your right, we already have an interested buyer[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] My buddy just sold his house, it never touched the market[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] Agent showed it to his clients. Now he's making 6% as the seller's agent and 6% as the buyer's agent. Man are they raking in the dough[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]

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