    Where the market is - Buyer Offers

    Don't forget the "unlimited" part.  That's the bigger WTF here.

    What is your net worth excluding equity in your primary residence?

    Net worth is up 32% since July 2019.  I don't include physical possessions plus my investment style is conservative.

    INFLATION IS OUR FRIEND

    Is it possible to run high inflation and low interest rates for sustained periods?  Will house prices keep up with inflation if mortgage rates are 6% and increasing?  God help us.

    IUSD adopts ?Teen Talk? as new sex ed curriculum

    Man am I late to this thread, but posting stuff like this just blows the credibility of the entire rant.  Don't see these in the topics listed.  Sex ed at 11/12 was the norm when I was growing up.  Glad the courses have evolved now to cover many things that were unknown, ignored or...

    Fed Coin

    Yes, there's no better way to instill confidence in a government's fiat currency than to enforce limits on how it's spent.    :o      ???

    Newer Irvine listings with crazy WTF asking prices from equity sellers

    I love that even Zillow doesn't even try to adjust their estimate to meet the asking price on that 1.

    I have already uploaded a pic of my covid vax card to my workplace database.

    Work situation?

    I've been involved with an outsourcing project.  We had a contract with a programing shop in India.  Our project manager and his right hand man were both from India.  The entire thing was a shitshow.  For their part, the overseas workers were wonderful.  So eager to please, willing to put in...

    Waiving all contingencies on an offer the norm?

    No more stupid than the market itself, IMO.  I wouldn't do it, but then I guess I don't want it bad enough and would live with not having my offers accepted.

    Experts are turning housing bear

    So many factors.  Wage inflation or not, WFH effects, mortgage rates are top 3 I think.

    Newer Irvine listings with crazy WTF asking prices from equity sellers

    They should have had their genius children proof-read the listing for them.  As an adult I can't believe how much time I wasted perfecting my English skills, thinking it was some kind of prerequisite for success as an adult.

    Work situation?

    I can't imagine having to learn the ropes of my business remotely.  It's just too difficult.  Likewise, my effectiveness as a seasoned mentor is blunted.  Too many nuances that can't be communicated effectively with a screen share.  And sometimes the only way to get someone to stop ignoring...

    Work situation?

    My co was pretty flexible to begin with.  I have a coworker who was working remote from Seattle since before the pandemic.  I have another who will be moving to AZ in July.  I haven't looked into it, but I assume they're able to avoid paying CA taxes.  I am both on site and remote, depending on...

    Any TI Residents looking to move out of state?

    There's a heatwave gripping the rest of the SW region and our high today was 76F.  The weather is equally kind in the winter.  Can't see myself leaving anytime soon.

    INFLATION IS OUR FRIEND

    I was a kid but I remember it.  I asked my mother what the word meant because it was mentioned so much.  I remember the angst the word brought.  I remember numismatics, gold and silver were in vogue.  My father dragged me to coin shows to look for rarities.  And to the beach with his metal...

    INFLATION IS OUR FRIEND

    Lumber is the product du jour for many discussions about inflation.  It's seriously messed up, for anyone who hasn't yet heard. For a more specific look, OSB is a great example, which is commonly used for sheathing houses; i.e., a lot of it is needed to build a house.  2 years ago a 4x8 sheet...

    Powder Room Conversion to Storage Closet

    Are you on a slab?  Where do the drain lines and supply lines enter the room from?  The sink drain might go into the wall, but you'll probably find that flooring and a toilet flange are not that easily interchangeable if you're working on concrete.  Maybe you can cap things off and cover up the...
