Actually, I don’t feel any guilt, nor do I care if anonymous blog posters see me as pure, wholesome or innocent. Damn right I’ll play this market to my advantage now!
I like to explain my motives ad nauseum because, ultimately, I have feelings of guilt.
I want to believe that I am not playing the market for fear that others will think I am greedy or benefitting from others’ suffering. I know that others have suffered due to my actions and will suffer due to my actions but I can’t reconcile that to my desire to be seen as pure, wholesome and innocent.
Pierre – since we want to buy mostly cash, we don’t care too much about interest rates. If anything, higher interest rates (which exert downward pressure on prices) could help our particular situation.
brooklyngreene,
if you’re serious about selling your house for that price, let me know.
Congratulations, Pierre! This is surprising news. What area did you decide on?
You are welcome MR.
Wow things are really slow but the prices are still way out of touch with reality…another $200K down across the board.
Of course some of our dear friends on this site will counter that things are perfectly fine…it’s not the end of the world blah blah blah.
BrooklynGreene we don’t really think you are anywhere emotionally prepared to sell with all this talk of downsizing and part co-op is simply not worth the hassle in this environment.
MM your consistency and patience is commendable but keep an eye on interest rates for holding out too long may not be too wise once the high rates kick in…only a matter of time.
We just had our offer accepted… massive discount though 🙂 plus we needed to buy soon for AMT reasons.
Ghetto’s post was a composite of Miss Muffet and BHO.
Oh, and we are making bids – just low ones. We’re firm in our position, and are seeing how the market, gradually, is reaching down to us – the exact opposite of the boom. All the ridicule in the world won’t change this.
