Good Website to find houses for sale?

Posted on May 11th, 2010 by admin in realestate com | 2 Comments »

What is a good website for looking at houses for sale. I’ve already checked out local newspapers, Realtor.com, Realestate.com, and yahoo realestate, anywhere else… I’m just really doing research and we’re not ready to talk to a realtor just yet…
I didn’t think about Craigslist!

Thanks!

Just so you don’t waste your time, 99% of real estate websites get their data from the same source as Realtor.com so they won’t have listings it doesn’t.

eBay has a real estate section, though I wouldn’t buy a house that way.

Notice that Virginia has a Democratic governor

Actually, it’s a beautiful place to live.

And VA has a Democrat as governor because of the population of Northern Virginia which are the young preppies who work in DC.

The commute time refers to the average time it takes for a person to get from their home to their job. The number in the slide show is the ranking out of the 150 in the survey.

Do Republicans believe they have a snowball’s chance in Ohio with statistics like this?

It’s not Ohio’s fault the Repiglicans crapped on Ohio.

I sure hope they don’t.
The first step in the right direction was NOT electing a Republican Governor.

Ted Strickland defeated Ken Blackwell.
Blackwell (R) who helped Bush "win" Ohio in 2000 (Blackwell was ‘in charge’ of the voting in Ohio at the time) didn’t get the favor returned last November. His own party turned their back on him.
Payback is a "B"!

Also, Blackwell is African America, which also supports my theory that Republicans do NOT support minority candidates.

Why does CA have the most polluted cities in the US?

Posted on May 2nd, 2010 by admin in realestate com | 7 Comments »

They have tons of regulations, which clearly are not working. So shouldn’t they practice what they preach, meaning stop with the whole green movement and hippy crap and get your act together

Their eco-bigot minds are so twisted they are often counter-productive.

Can you name 5 completely different causes for the foreclosure mess?

Posted on April 30th, 2010 by admin in realestate com | 11 Comments »

I want 5 different reasons or more if you have them…since we all know you cant really place the blame on one or two things.

I especially want to hear about nationwide macro economic trends of concern that may be contributing factors

http://promo.realestate.yahoo.com/no_slowdown_in_foreclosure_filings.html

Shylock said it all–just about. The thing I notice most (and I’m just a country-raised Southern biscuit-baking mama) is we have turned into a very greedy immediate reward society. We want it now now now. Reminds me of the first Willy Wonka movie where that lil girl sang "I want it NOW!"

One example: The weddings today are outrageous. They rival what only the very wealthy people had in the years past. They expect (demand!) big diamonds and expensive lavish gifts and are quite angry if they don’t get them.

Look at some of the old old movies. People didn’t live like we live today. I know time marches on and we are the techie society and we buy one electronic and next year, there’s a newer more sophisticated more advanced model, so we toss the old and buy a new one.. The effect this is going to end up having on our environment.. makes me shudder.

We are greedy and spoiled raising even more greedy and spoiled and unappreciative children. (Ok this is making me sound like my mother and her mother and her mother’s mother) But it’s true. The sky’s the limit to people’s wants and their children’s "wants". They don’t seem to care the price or how high their charge cards or home equity loans go.

Ok, getting off soapbox and going to bake some biscuits. Happy Thanksgiving all, and Amen, let’s eat!

How many middle class people would it take to purchase this home if they pooled their funds?
