Follow-Up: Anecdotal Evidence, Pt. 3


NO DICE
Here's another update on the properties I've been following in my neighborhood. The house I was watching never did sell, it would seem. After stagnating on the market for over three months and lowering the asking price by 8.5%, there still were no takers for the "cozy" house. I would guess that the owner was making an attempt to cash in on the real estate madness, and since they weren't able to get a ridiculous sum out of some sucker they decided to take their ball and go home, so to speak.

Furthermore, the neighboring condo that went up for sale (a few weeks after the first condo I was watching closed) has supposedly sold (according to the sign out front, and the fact that it's no longer on the MLS), but the information indicating how much it sold for hasn't been posted online yet. I'll update you when I find out.

Thank you very much for the update on these properties.

It looks like that house needs a lot of work.

Okay folks, let's get this site going. I also have been tracking properties in the neighborhood I was forced to move out of in N Seattle 2 years ago because of the real estate/rental hikes.
What I'm finding is that a home that 2 years ago would have been listed for 850,000 was on the market last month (when I first started tracking) for 750,000. 2 wks ago the asking price dipped to 747,900 and now this wk. to 745,000. YAAYYYY!!!

Matter of fact maybe its a good idea for Seattlites to make a site like this to help keep out in migration to the Northwest. Call it Phooey Phooey (take off on Louie Louie) or something like that.

Dukes-
It's not just the asshole flippers who push prices up- some of the blame's gotta be laid at the feet of asshole buyers! I watched in horror back in the late 90's as buyers bid and up-bidded again & did their fair share of creating this panic.
