If you are I'll try to make a effort to appear specifically to buy you a pint ;) It takes some minerals to host a RE blog in this day and age as a realtor - especially one that allows open discussion as you do.. I respect that. Hope everyone is enjoying the good weather today. Ron - are you going to come to Clint’s get together at the lucky lab ?

Is that happening in Lake Oswego?!?! Not according to Poperty Blotter. Isn't MLS reporting that homes sold are going for on average 93% of asking price?!?! I am just a lowly blue collar worker totally disconnected from the high end lives of the rich and famous. Me and my $75K/year will just sit and watch the spectacle. We are down, what 8% now, are the bubble deniers still in denial? MLS and C-S are reporting declines. Portland still special in that immune sort of way!? Yes, some neighborhoods will get hit more than others but everyone will feel it a bit, the least being stagnant prices. I have yet to hear an explanation for sustaining high prices without the liar loans...let's see what our ever increasing foreclosure rate does over the coming 12months. Personally, I am tired of being accused of ATTACKING people when they can't back up their statements. For months folks on Turners blog were stating why Portland would continue to appreciate because of our "strong fundamentals" yet no one could define them. I would ask about the effects of the subprime and liar loan game on the market or the foreclosure rate that starting to jump months ago yet no one wanted to go there...they just kept spouting, "Portland has strong fundamentals"... Portland is un-affordable for most, bottom line. Unless you want to stop contributing to your retirement. Stop the health insurance plan and avoid the doctor. Stop the vacations. Stop going out to eat. Not have children to avoid the expense of daycare.... I do predict significantly higher taxes in 30 years to bail out the folks who didn't save for retirement and health care...that is what I will be bitter about. For now I just shudder...

It is the Bay Area, I guess. My spouse contracted in the Bay Area for about a year. Santa Cruz area was a dream but the salaries for the San Jose-Los Gatos - Santa Cruz area still didn't make sense with the given salaries. But then, I am just a nurse, you would most likely need two hi-tech incomes or be one of the big dogs. I still don't believe comparing the Bay Area to Portland is apples to apples comparison, IMHO. Anyone wanna tell me how Yun came up with the statement, "By 2013, home prices in Portland could easily be up 30%"? Anyone have any take on it?
