I was rollerblading on Black Rail today Jim and shazaam, the video is up showing that same view I saw. If one could make those power lines disappear that would add 200k to those homes up there. I skated by this home after that:

It represents a little bit of sanity in opening asking price for the Aviara market in Carlsbad which is nice to see in the early spring time!
As Las Vegas emerged as the epicenter of the U.S. mortgage-default crisis, Jonathan Griffin found a niche as the leading bidder for foreclosed homes in the gambling capital.
Mr. Griffin, who died Sunday at age 27, was a high-school dropout who had worked as a busboy and real-estate agent. His family said the cause of death hadn’t been determined, pending autopsy reports.
Mr. Griffin was an innovator in the booming business of helping investors buy foreclosed homes. His firm, Griffin Group, has offices overlooking a parking lot in downtown Las Vegas where home auctions—known as trustee sales—are held every weekday. He earned fees by providing data on homes headed for auction and related services, and bidding on behalf of investors.

That’s rough luck for young Jonathan Griffin and his family and friends.
This housing crash has spawned many interesting stories, and one of the most fascinating I’ve yet read is here:

Unique, one-of-a-kind individuals tend to thrive in unique, one-of-a-kind times…like Big Jim Jamalama The Realtor!
FYI, you got a typo on the title of the YouTube video.
Thanks, I fixed it. And thanks to you or whoever just voted on the youtube, because you brought me up from a 3.5 to a 4.
It inspried me to find the button to turn off the voting.
There are people who like to give a low rating to my videos on the youtube site, and I never understood it. I know they’re crappy videos, they are supposed to be crappy, if you don’t like them, can you just not watch? I don’t need to be reminded.
Carlsabd? 🙂
They are *not* crappy videos; otherwise, I wouldn’t be so addicted to them.
Then again, maybe it’s me. 😉
I’d rather watch crap crappy videos than smoke and mirrors. Keep them coming Jim.
Rhetorical question here: How does Janae sleep at night? And now a Director of the Board of Realtors? Seriously? Are there other agents like you, Jim, who are disgusted with her fraud? I’m just shaking my head as I type.
Once again, JtR, great video!
It will be interesting to see the final report on young Mr. Griffin. There’s a whole pack of those “young buck” types that work the high end of LA/Malibu etc….but Las Vegas plays a little rougher.
As someone who knew Jonathan Griffin personally (not closely, but saw him every day at the trustee sale), I was shocked to hear of his passing. I know that this business can be extremely stressful. It’s been stressful for me and I only bought two properties in the past year! I could see the increasing toll of the stress over the two years I knew him. I know he will be missed by many and my thoughts and prayers are with his young family.
What kind of fraud did she do? I’m a novice when it comes to real estate. What did Genex do that constitutes fraud?
Will the sale of the Jan Terry house have any effect on comps in La Costa Valley?
It’s bothering the guy down the street trying to get $100,000 more, but comps are a funny thing.
There was the other house (on the video) that backed to the same busy street that sold for $120,000 more than Jan Terry’s, which neutralizes the negative impact somewhat.
But will it propel a buyer to ignore the low comp? It hasn’t yet, and the neighbor down the street was in escrow and fell out. Did the buyer see the low comp? Maybe.
hmmmm… thanks Jim. I like that house down the street (if it’s the one I’m thinking of that came back on the market and it was pending).
oops, nevermind. the one I was thinking of is not down the street. smaller sq footage…
