Classic home in South Pasadena: http://media.cdn-redfin.com/photo/58/bigphoto/506/22129506_1.jpg I think this type of house will be looked upon as a "classic" http://media.cdn-redfin.com/photo/58/bigphoto/911/22126911_4.jpg Also in Glendale...

This perfectly sums up my feelings right about now. Except I'm still in the Depression phase, and trying to fight off my urge to buy back in. A sure sign that we are near the top of this swing. Or not. *sigh*

Know anyone near Norwalk? Found something I really like, but I know enough to know that I would need help to do this properly. Any recommendations?

I have been watching these areas as well. Last year I did a melissa data search and started looking up downpayments on the peak pricing sales. The vast majority in south pas put down 40-60%. A huge bummer. I had been counting on a wave of foreclosures to come through the area. That...

Ok, so a house I would've killed for way back when came on the market today at 1.4 million. The pricing is "normal" for the area I'm looking at (one of the last to fall, but this house should be about 1 million at 2002 pricing). Anyway, it shows that this house went into foreclosure and...

I would buy at 2002 prices. I remember thinking it was stupid to rent in 2002 (why pay $200 more in rent when you could own?) In 2003 I didn't think renting was stupid.

They say DJIA is always 9 months ahead of the economy. If we start super-inflating, could the rally be "correct", because in 9 mos the dollar will have inflated enough to keep us at that mark? My financial advisor told me before the crash that they thought the dow should be at 9000 to...

Thanks guys for all of the great advice. Re: Huntington Beach. I love the look of their downtown. I love their housing prices even more! But the lack of trees, and the stacked housing is a negative. I am not a sun worshipper, and I almost always wear pants. (I'm so pale, I try not...

Hello all, Quick background: I wanted to live in South Pasadena, but $600 square foot prices pissed me off and my son has asthma so the air quality was an issue. I'm living in Seattle where the prices are $300 a square foot. But prices have plummeted so much in Socal I'm considering...

My guess is this is going to be a big bull rally. Why? Because I reached my stress point when DJIA hit the sixes, and when it got back to 7800 I got out. Whenever I get out it is always a mistake. So, bet on my bad decision making. :)

The tax system is set up the way it is so that the people who have the largest percentage of wealth pay the same percentage in taxes. So you have sales tax, property tax, payroll tax, etc etc, and the idea is that the people who have 50% of the wealth in this country cover about 50% of the...

I was going to do rents, home prices, and income comparisons so I can make a target for what is "normal" for those areas. Maybe I should just look at data sets from the 70s to 2000, because I imagine anything post 2001 is going to be bizarro world. I agree Marin is too expensive, but it...

Library? Do they still have those? ;) The US census doesn't have it online somewhere maybe?

Hey guys, I'm trying to figure out historic rental rates for 98110, 91030 and Marin County, California. Over a period of decades. Where would I go to find that data and figure it out. OR, I seriously would pay one of you guys to figure it out for me.
