Reader comments yesterday led to this: first, a list of all the outcomes I've been able to find for houses formerly listed in 2008, and second, how many of those are expired or withdrawn? I'll break it down by area, and for north of Montana, by price.
Clearly the lower-priced north of Montana houses (like 231 18th, photo above) sold quickly during the first half of 2008, typically for $2.3M+. Tear-down value is less clear, with few data points. Update: 710 19th Street may be a new one at $2,086K.
Striking was 214 Euclid, 3/2, asking $2,700 but sold for $3,350K. Described as, "Once in a lifetime chance to build a dream home on a rare 1+1/2 lot - in prime Santa Monica. First time on market in 42 years", this is a data point for those here seeking double lots.
As some comparison, on May 20 when I last listed houses north of Montana over 30 days there were 21.

Wow, even in a real estate depression, PRSM makes Manhattan look like the wrong side of the tracks...California Rules!!!!!
Wow.
That's alot stronger than I expected.
Crap.
808 Adelaide is now listed on the MLS in the Pacific Palisades section. Is this a new technique for stale listings?...actually changing the location?
North of Montana homes are completely immune to economic recessions and even housing depressions. If a nuclear bomb went off, prices would merely level for a while before starting to go up again. You can wait all you want, all you're doing is pricing yourself from north of Montana forever. Buy now and you'll be able to double your money in just a few years.
"327 21st, 3/2, $2,395K, 6/12/08, 7/2/08, $2,300K (-4%)"
I saw 327 21st at the first open house. The building was borderline uninhabitable, not "low-end" at all, but a tear down for all intents and purposes. So $2.3m is lot value, not "low-end" house value.
And to think all those people who stood in line at IMB didn't even know the bank was in trouble! Looks like a similar situation in 90402, only it's housing.
Anon at 3:13, couldn't agree more. It's the same retired grocery baggers and postal workers in line at IndyMac and writing offers on houses in 90402. Why won't the bulls on this blog wake up and recognize that?
I have to imagine the average gross income in this area has been falling like a rock, if it's the "retired grocery baggers and postal workers" that have been filling the demand side of the equation...
Good data, Westside. Still bullish until the inventory (significantly) rises in the area...
Assuming some, if not most, of the buyers are borrowing, does this also mean there's a thriving market for jumbo loans out there and people are paying the 8% plus rates?
You're assuming people are taking out 30 year fixed loans. Until the last couple of weeks, you could get an interest only arm <6%, even with a jumbo. You could get an even better rate for first mortgages of <729.5K, obviously assuming excellent credit. People are probably taking a gamble that the credit market will have sorted itself out in the next five years, before these arms adjust. I know that's what we did (although we only wish we had bought north of Montana).
pretty much everyone on this blog thinks prices in the 90402 will go down
but for today july 08 you have to admit that prices are holding rock solid
plenty of drive by offers at 2.0 mil
When you see the occasional 10-15% price drop from the original list price, this is very deceiving. This doesn't mean prices are falling that much, it just means the seller overpriced their home. You can ask whatever you want as a seller. Looks like I will be waiting forever to purchase in the area, because I am just about priced out. To think Santa Monica will all the sudden dramatically drop 20-30% is just unrealistic. Way too many buyers around that are willing and able to pay to live in the area even if there is a slide of 10-15% in real prices.
This doesn't mean prices are falling that much, it just means the seller overpriced their home.
True, but ... I also see that as the over-reaching by sellers that would have worked a couple of years ago, but now encounters resistance.
I am in agreement that, with homes NOM, if you wait you will lose!!
When you see drastic reductions it also means that the Realtor promised the Seller the World just to get the listing.
Then, after a couple of weeks if no offers, the Agent begs for the price reduction, and finally makes a deal.
If you are trying to justify waiting it out, you are almost assuring yourself that you will never get your dream house NOM or even NOWilshire.

The other day I happened to note a wine bottle sleeve my wife picked up somewhere. "Wine," it declaims. "It's Not Just for Breakfast Anymore." It gave me a smart chuckle. But it additionally set me to thinking about Facebook and therefore the ways that you leverage it to induce your website out there.
Unless you simply woke from a sophisticated comatose state, you have already wasted so much too many hours clicking round the blue-and-white pages and wondering what the fuss is about. Maybe you are vaguely familiar with terms like "Wall" and "Live Feed." You may apprehend that the links at the so much right are actually paid advertisements. But you would possibly be startled to understand that very serious firms like Nike, Coca-Cola, Budweiser, HP, and even Kraft are seriously using Facebook as part of their selling strategy. If the large guys are doing it, well, you can't terribly well afford to ignore Facebook, will you?
First, let's clear up some misconceptions: Facebook is not the watering hole for the pimple-faced faculty set. After all, it's over 350 million active users. "Active" is that the operative word here. Not just members. These are people in each age, ethnic, and wage bracket who, in keeping with Facebook, log in 50% of any given day and comment at least 25 times during any given month. Most do so much, way more.
Thus how can you create Facebook work for you?
1.) Buy ads on Facebook. The method is the same as fixing Google Adsense campaigns. However Facebook's powerful features allow you to aim specifically at the individuals you're going for. You'll be able to set the ads show to people primarily based on age, ethnicity, religion, geographic location, likeslikes, and several more parameters. Strive obtaining Google to show your ad solely to Democrats.
2.) Founded an acquaintance page for your business. Update it each day. Do not "troll" through the location to make friends, however continuously settle for them once they apply. If your business is likeable in different respects, people will add you. Send them the most recent news, coupon codes, pictures, or whatever.
3.) Release videos on Facebook. You'll be shocked to determine how briskly they spread.
4.) Write articles on your blog and post links on your Facebook wall. Your friends will repost them and before you know it, you have thousands of readers.
5.) Put all of your contact data, your brand, and a image of you in your profile. When people would like your product or service, they recognize who to call.
Facebook lets you target anyone you're wanting for. And apart from the paid ads, it's all free. Gone are the days when Facebook was simply for faculty kids. Nowadays it is a very normal beverage.
Search engine optimization is concerned with finding keywords that have great potential and that can be won on search engines. This method of finding and winning keywords can take some time. The first step to take would to be to go to Google adwords and research different keywords and how much traffic they get each month. Next, you ought to search these keywords and see what your competition is like. If there are highly ranked sites for the keyword you ought to move on to the next one. Rummage around for keywords that have firms of only a PR three ranking or below to get the most effective results. Once you have found your keywords then you ought to write content on free article engine sites with backlinks. The more content and backlinks you have out there the quicker your website will begin to maneuver up in rankings.
