Unlikely that the Fed tapers this year: Powell Drops the Hammer on Tapering Talk https://blogs.uoregon.edu/timduyfedwatch/2021/01/15/powell-drops-the-hammer-on-tapering-talk/#.YAGeqXjrfJE.twitter
At the close of a presentation to a large audience of real estate agents today, I was asked to succinctly compare the Manhattan sales market of 2020 to the potential for 2021. Upon reflection, I said that 2021 had the potential to suck less.

"Where do we begin..2020 has been a year for everyone. When COVID hit and shut down both my husband and my businesses, we were left with a mortgage and very little income coming in. We were stressed, scared and felt stuck. We made the hard decision to sell our home and move out of state. We contacted the Klinges' and spent a good hour going over what we hoped we could accomplish. Jim and Donna came over with comps in hand and suggestions on improvements to get our house ready for the market. It was overwhelming to think about, but Donna was there and one step ahead in every scenario. more "

"Jim and Donna Klinge made the sale of our condo extraordinarily easy. They know the market and gave us sound advice backed by details and very considerable experience, reflected both in the initial pricing and subsequent negotiations. They work together as a team and are always available to talk. more "

"I cannot believe there are no reviews of Donna yet, ugh!! She is the secret sauce of the Jim Klinge/Donna Klinge combo! I will touch on Jim here, but Donna is why I'm so totally loyal to these two (no offense to Jim :)).

"Jim and Donna Klinge are by far the most professional, personable and responsive realtors I have ever worked with. They provide VIP concierge level service in every area of the process of selling your home. My home was marketed so successfully that we received an offer the day after our first and only open house. Thanks to Jim's pricing and negotiating, our house is now the highest sold in our community... more "

Another hat tip to SM:
A woman who allegedly squatted in a Kirkland mansion for more than a week was arrested Tuesday by Kirkland police and booked into jail. She will likely be charged with criminal trespass, said Det. Allan O’Neill of the Kirkland police.
Squatters moved into the empty 8,000-square-foot home on the night of June 4. The home had been in foreclosure and owned at times by two different banks. It is currently for sale for $3.3 million.
Earlier, police had said the dispute was a civil matter between the squatters and First Citizens Bank of North Carolina, which owns the house. But an article in The Seattle Times on Sunday and coverage by other news outlets prompted an outcry for police to take action.
“It took us that long to work with the bank, to review the deeds, tax logs and utility bills,” O’Neill said. “We determined the bank was the rightful owner.”
The woman had claimed she owned the home, but submitted to arrest willingly. A man and children who had been seen in the home were not there when police arrived Tuesday.
Gosh Jim, I thought you’d take her somewhere really expensive, like a gas station (lol).
Happy Birthday, Donna! *Chuckle* I think Jim should have given you the WHOLE day off…
Happy birthday to your wife! It was also great meeting you….I always wondered what you were like in person. Very interesting to talk to and I could ask questions about real estate all day long. I also picked up some sales tips, mainly on what not to do. haha
I also loved how the train just rolled through at about 5MPH as you were showing the house. They just had to be doing some sort of work on the tracks that day.
I also FINALLY got cleared by the doctor and the DMV to be driving again, so if you need any help….let me know.
$3MM to die from boredom. Good call.
happy birthday to the wifey!
4:48-9 is my Dads house on the left.
You need 1M in cash reserves for legal battles to keep your house on the bluff with Sea Walls and another 50k a year in painting and maintenance for the ongoing with the ocean wind and salt! Its the largest non disclosed HOA on Earth to be bluff top Solana Beach.
Let me guess…Dellz for the B-day dinner?
A friend of mine posted this on FB:

Reminds me of Colorado circa early ’90s. We had more Californians than we knew what to do with. I wonder how much of an effect it will have on the tax base.
Happy B-day Donna
May the Lakers win game 7 in your honor!!
