AAARRRGH.
The house down the road from us, identical in size and era, is going for $314,000.
IT IS NOT WORTH $314,000. IT IS A PIECE OF CRAP.
And they keep saying the Seattle real estate market isn't overheated. When a piece of crap house too small for a normal family on a busy street across from a vacant lot goes for $314K, it's overheated.
	
 
		
		
I'm guessing "no universal health coverage" is #1. It is on my list.
I don't think my list is ordered, but it is on the list somewhere.
	
 
		
		
 I KNOW! You'll get to see Emeline in her Cthulhu costume!
That's a costume? I just figured any child of Joe's...
	
 
		
		
It's PINK!  Of course it's a costume!
	
 
		
		
I was going to write something about how much that house would sell for in my Bay Area neighborhood, (it looks like a bargain to me), but I've decided I'm depressed enough over the housing situation and I'm just going to sit here quietly and sob.

Same house in LA?  $659,000.  Not kidding.  My friend is selling theirs.  Bad neighborhood, too.
	
 
		
		
House prices = the crazy
Emeline = the cute, in spite of scary Miracleman DNA.
	
 
		
		
With Jilli and Pete around, I just have to note that this site says bats aren't rodents - they're actually more closely related to primates.
So does this mean that bats are, basically, goth monkeys?
	
 
		
		
There's a house in Mom's neighborhood listed at $260,000, it's not big by the neighborhood standards (which isn't that big) and has more than a postage size lawn.  It's been on the market for almost 3 months now so I don't think it will get what they are asking.
Mom desperately wants to get out of her town home and into a one story house, but she can't afford to buy anything in the neighborhood.
