Sara, my neighborhood (Oakland, cA) has a couple of homes for sale (not foreclosures) in the $300's range that were bought three years ago for $700's. Bewildering, it is.
Tara: What's so bad about them coming here? Aren't they good guys? I mean, Watchers, that's just like whole other Gileses, right? Buffy: Yes! They're scary and horrible!

Natter 64: Yes, we still need you

Even at the top of the bubble, I have no idea how that house sold for $225K 2 years ago. That's just...nuts. Nothing on this street should have gone for that much.
eta: I take that back. Some of the renov, I can see. And I do see those in the $200K range in 2007. But this place needed work.

It makes me weep to read about housing prices in other states. Sigh.
Speaking of housing prices, the place next door to us is for sale. I want to know the asking price, but I'm not sure where it'd be listed. I am also a bit afraid that someone will buy it and tear it down and I'll be living next door to a construction site for a year.
I don't suppose there are any localistas who are looking to buy?

Researching the Seattle housing market is like untangling a web. The idea of zero lot lines is still a new concept to me, so I have a hard time reconciling prices with the types of houses and trying to figure out the differences between neighborhoods and townships.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
zero lot lines?

I've never heard the word "township" applied in Seattle. Could that be realty-industry-specific?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
