From time to time we revisit Wrightwood, CA. Longtime readers may recall my sweating out the sale of my last non-personal use real estate property there in April 2006. Not only did I get out but I sold to my realtor. The same property is currently for sale again as an agency exclusive. I'll try to track down some info. Back then there were 63 offerings and ~3 months supply. Today there are 170 for sale and DQNews reports only 10 sales in October. 17 months inventory. I think there about 17 real estate agents as well. Wrightwood is still a great place. Four seasons, small town feel. Good skiing close and at reasonable prices. Downtown, such as it is can be scoped with this LiveCam. Stay a while, enjoy yourself just don't buy a house.

Before you buy a house, first you pay off your debts & save up for a down payment.
Wagga,
What a concept. I'm glad my parents drilled that kind of common sense into me. It seems to be very uncommon these days.
My parents taught me that as well; I'm still in the "paying off and saving up" phase, but I'll get to the buying phase eventually. Prices in Washington dropping faster than Congress' approval rating, so no hurry.
With respect to Wrightwood, a lot of the bubble-prone areas are great places to be, but where prices got away from reality. That's as opposed to the mortgage-backed securities, many of which were trash to be begin with. But those with the money and the patience should watch prime regions carefully, because there will be some real deals in real estate over the next few years. Not yet, but we're getting there.
"Hello Boys... I'M BAAAAAACCCKK!!!"
I call hoax.
Might not be - it does sound like him.
No. I can tell. Just another coattail poseur.
Has to be fake, the word "sovereign" is not part of the real Snowflake's vocabulary.....
Well, that's Benoit, but I'm not sure if he created the blog or not.
I call WHO GIVES A SHIT?
He's into negative minutes for time of fame. If the traffic at damion and tards last website is any indication..the story is so so over.
Murst. The new record for the latest Murst in EN History, Loozers!!!!

Yes, the actual post is mine -- the wordpress blog isn't, though. And it may not be a fake; the Swab™ received notice today about the blog and posted about it at DHC (Casey has always used Nigel to leak information).
escapemyhouse.com was registered a few days ago, right before Lame-ion officially became a bus crush victim.
Whether it's the real Casey or not, I couldn't resist posting to rile people up. heh. :-)
I dunno the Hwy 2 West view looks like a shot out of Cops in rural CA with some random porno shop in the background (flashing lights) where they're going to do a prostitution sting later and find a bunch of truckers on Meth. But that's just my weird, TV watching, East-Coast view.
Where is everyone? Fun and games (with fishnets only in power tool mode) can be found at Zillow Book.
Happy Friday!
@TK, luckily we don't need porno shops any longer thanks to the interwebs.
Akubi,
We don't, per se, but truckers do. Such as when I was traveling to Chicago, and needing sleep, followed a truck late at night into a large dirt parking lot behind the "Velvet Touch" bookstore in Lansing MI. I'm sure that there were all sorts of frightening things about that bookstore, but the parking lot was scary as well. I guess though it was as safe a place as any for a van load of young dudes who just wanted to smoke a joint and crash.
I think it's a Casey fake. While the "sovereign life" sounds like it could be the new shiny to chase the overall tone of the blog is off.
Great skiing up there in Wrightwood at Mountian High. If you go up to the very top, and look out towards the desert, you are right on top of the San Andreas Fault.
