Pick Your Favorite Feature
Sometimes a property has everything. Not this time. What is the worst characteristic?
$320/sf?
4600sf lot?
Built 1932?
Microscopic rooms?
Proximity to a busy road?
Some kind of pipe running through the yard?
The yard?
R-2 windows?
The price?
Reading about Leonardo Da Vinci. Yeah he was gay; I knew that. BUT he hired /adopted a boy to be a trainee/assistant at 10. He was called by the author of this book a scamp, but by 15 he was Leonardo's boy lovers. Nobody seemed to be upset about it.
Back in those days they had no qualms about even castrating a male child if they thought it might improve their prospects. That send harsher than renting them one out to a quirky artist
Just got back from a local political fund-raiser at Echo Beach adjacent.
Some developer bought off a couple of local pols and thought he was going to put 400 units of ultra-dense apartment development on public property that is deeded for public use and access.
The place was full to overflowing with donors who plan to put a stop to it. Even Flynn showed up to speak some lines that were carefully crafted by the attorneys... ;-)
Happy Armistice Day to everyone. HappY Veteran's Day to those who served.
Everyone on Aliexpress ordering cheap Chinese goods?
Zillow is still cheating. Continuously editing past values to cover past errors. Has the Dawghaus up 2% last 30 days yet projects +2% for the next year. The previous post bubble high I mentioned earlier this year has been disappeared. These are important numbers and should not be messed with like silly things like climate data.
Depends on who's insanity one wishes to believe. Clintons are sore losers and the Dems are pretty much destroyed at the moment. Old Republicans are scared S--T less. IMO
Well... Looks like Georgia and Notre Dame were a tad overrated...I hope we're not saying that about Bama in a couple of weeks. Didn't watch the game, but it appears that Auburn was dominating...
What is the price, anyway?
ReplyDeleteIs that where the sharecroppers.live? The Joads? Trumps' ancestral home?
ReplyDeleteNow that's mean. Hangs head.
Helll---oooooo. Anybody out there

DeleteWhere is the Masters house?
ReplyDeleteI like all the junk in front
ReplyDeleteIsn't there usually a nice wash machine or a refrigerator on the front porch?
DeleteJunk in the front? Family blog!
ReplyDeleteYeah, what is wrong with agents these days? Cannot even do the simplest presentation prep?
Junk appeals to the deplorables. Have to know your market.
Delete>Yeah, what is wrong with agents these days? Cannot even do the simplest presentation prep?
ReplyDeleteProbably cleaning up the front yard would be considered false advertising.

Local entertainment :-)
Whenever I hear you say Echo Beach, I think of Muddy Econ...
DeleteGood Morning!
ReplyDeleteIt's not about the house, it's about Kali Dreaming. The ATM effect will kick in in about 6 months as the value rises. What's not to like? ;)
Happy veterans da yo all you vets.
ReplyDeleteZillow reduced the value of my house in a big way, but now they are raising it a lot. I see no reason for either change.
ReplyDeleteZillow says my house value is way down. Cries, wants my fake wealth back, Now!
ReplyDeleteThe amount I would ask for it hasn't changed a cent
ReplyDeleteNot that it would be sold until they drag me or the hub out feet first.
Just paid our flood bill. A miniscule 450$.
ReplyDeleteUnchanged. Fictitious wealth unchanged.
ReplyDeleteHappy Armistice Day to everyone. HappY Veteran's Day to those who served.

ReplyDeleteGood Morning!
