High-end condo prices fall

It’s about time . . .

Eric Pryne’s recent post in the Seattle Times – “Bellevue Towers, other new condo projects cutting prices”

I think the housing market has been way over-inflated for many years already and feel it’s about time some of these places – that are largely vacant – reduce their prices. I’m sure they’ll never fall to where they really should be, but it’s a start anyway.

High end homes selling better?

Is it just me, or does it seem like higher priced homes are selling faster than those in the median price range?

Up in my neck of the woods, we have several newer developments where homes are priced at or above $650,000 and several where homes are in the $300,000 range. Yet, it seems like those large, fancy ones are selling better.

I wonder if it’s because people are tired of living in sardine can neighborhoods? Or is it because those folks with enough money to be considered “well-off” aren’t having as much financial crunch as those average folks?

Any thoughts? I’d love to hear what you think.

National trends: government policy

This isn’t a political blog and generally, I don’t really share my views with anyone but perhaps my husband. However, I just watched an incredible video that I feel compelled to share especially given the topic of yesterday’s post.

You may have noticed a small icon above here in support of Ron Paul and this video also gives you a glimpse as to why I believe in Dr. Paul.

Here’s the video

I encourage to watch it, think about the current issues in the news and really try to understand just what the long term effects are if the current policies are not changed quickly. It’s imperative that every adult in America who is legally eligible to vote, do so.

Our country depends on it – Our future generations –

OUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN

– depend on it.

Until next time,
