  1. Yet another top seller in the Meier building, a building that so many on this board predicted would flop. How could so many people be so wrong? I thought you guys were such experts in the field of real estate.

    all this calc. of annualized rate of return sounds stupid. Buying a home is not…(yada yada yada)

    Understood (at least by me); I only threw that out there to show why the ask (& closing) price wasn’t completely insane.

  3. all this calc. of annualized rate of return sounds stupid. Buying a home is not buying stock or putting money in CD.
    If that is reason buying, then going to disappointed.
    You are buying for usage.
    If want to do analysis……calculate what they spent for closings, interest, taxes, maint.,diff. in downpayment and what end up after, etc for the time they occupied the dwelling and divide by # of months lived there. That would be what cost them monthly —compare to what renting would have cost.
    This notion of buy price vs. sale price too simplistic.
