They do a "man on the street" type interview with a few locals on some topic; the topic that week was "What do you like best about El Dorado Hills?" and a very perky-looking young woman's reply was that she liked the DIVERSITY, because there were people who had money that weren't afraid to flaunt it, and OTHER WEALTHY people who were more private about their money. I swear this is what she said. We were literally rolling on the couch laughing. <BR/>Since then, that same weekly paper redeemed itself to me by running one of the best fact-filled,unbiased articles ever when GW came to the Country Club to raise money last year. At a time when all the big papers were pretty much just repeating whatever the press secretary told them, this one actually pointed out what was being said vs. what the facts were. Kind of made me proud.Cmysthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03711467903139972088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4622411633995176328.post-6724097286007847992007-09-17T06:18:00.000-07:002007-09-17T06:18:00.000-07:00Cymst - Of course I vote for you to stay put in ED...Cymst - Of course I vote for you to stay put in EDH.....its a lonely place for us liberals and I could certainly use the companionship...I take solace knowing you are nearby, and that I am not the only one in our zip code =)Buying Timehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04651516505789196067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4622411633995176328.post-46640200461166211742007-09-16T21:38:00.000-07:002007-09-16T21:38:00.000-07:00When the seller thinks in terms of his income and ...When the seller thinks in terms of his income and monthly expenses, $1000 to $4000 sounds like a lot. So, in the Seller's mind, he is really giving something up.<BR/>Unfortunately, when you look at it from a discount perspective, a 1% discount or sale would be a joke. <BR/>As it is. <BR/><BR/>I'm feeling a little better after looking at most of the houses under $300K. There are a few dogs, but a surprising number of nice homes. <BR/>My big dilemma now is whether to try to move to another rental, or stay put.Cmysthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03711467903139972088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4622411633995176328.post-48953089060795206372007-09-16T18:02:00.000-07:002007-09-16T18:02:00.000-07:00Well it is sunday night, haveing cold beer and wat...Well it is sunday night, haveing cold beer and watching football, life is good in the desert. Cardinals finally won a game today.<BR/><BR/>It is very strange how fast house prices have corrected in parts of az compared to cali. I am seeing homes from the 130's here.The builders here are not wasteing anytime moveing homes. One doofus down the street paid 326k for his house in 2005 and now the builder is selling homes here for 185k. Can you say bend over and grab your ankles fast enough? The builder would not let him back out of his contract because, drum roll please, he is a realtor. I think a lot of them got caught with their pants down listening to their own lies.<BR/><BR/>Caveat emptor fellow bloggers!!!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4622411633995176328.post-29748632955510949162007-09-16T16:44:00.000-07:002007-09-16T16:44:00.000-07:00Thanks Cymst!Both the open houses we happened upon...Thanks Cymst!<BR/><BR/>Both the open houses we happened upon when we were wandering around Orangvale in July have dropped as well....one 100k and the other 25k. Still too expensive...but again, very encouraging that the drops are happening in larger increments...<BR/><BR/>Another pet peeve of mine is the 1,000 to 4,000 drops on 450k houses that are overpriced to begin with.
