I was very tempted to take Mason and Arizona, but I ended up changing my mind later on. Good call on A&M-BYU. I didn't know anything about those teams so I just went with the higher seed and lost that one. I've got two other 9s over 8s tonight (Oregon and Arkansas) that I'm hoping for...

That is very sad. And perhaps it's more sad if they get their hopes up believing Bush when he says this stimulus package is going to magically make everything better.

Ten - I'm totally with you. I used to pick more upsets, but in recent year's I've decided to let the seeding committee do most of my work for me. So far, so good this year, but then again there haven't been many upsets. We'll see what happens tonight - I've got a few upsets...

ten- You do know four No. 1 seeds have never made it through to the final four right? Not that I was being particularly adventurous with 3 No. 1s and a No. 2 for my picks. Heck, this is as good a year as any for it to finally happen though...

I'll go with UCLA. My final four: UCLA, UNC, Texas, Kansas UCLA over Kansas in the championship game.

That "asking price" on the Magnolia property was in fact the starting auction price. Here's what the description said: 'Property To Be Sold At Public Auction Event March 15Th At The Pomona Fairplex. List Price Is The Starting Bid For This Home, Subject To A Reserve Price And Lender...

By the time you factor in the mello roos, HOA dues and gas for longer commute, it probably costs the same per month as a $700k place in Irvine anyway

Nice find. That asking price would make it a 2002 rollback.

ipo - Do you see the NODs starting to accelerate, or are they moving at about the same pace?

It really is too bad about the HOAs. The Mello roos are one of the reason's I'd like to buy in Laguna Niguel instead of Aliso Viejo. To go off of what Graphrix said about the Tuscany property, here's the tax info off the Web. Notice the mello roos...

IPO - Appreciate all the work. I can't imagine what the index value is looking like these days for some of the places in the county that aren't holding up nearly as well.

Sounds like a good plan, dcn. The good news is prices in South County are still falling, so there should be plenty of deals out there when you're ready.

1 and 4 would automatically be out for me. A tandem garage in residence 1? But, seriously...two single-car garages in 4, which used to cost $714k? Those single-car garages would be great for roommates, but I can't see too many families wanting them.

Major price reductions on that one too...they started at $550k, so they've dropped the price by about 35%
