"Jim the Realtor is legit - I interviewed three brokers; he said list price should be $100,000 higher than the other two brokers; listed it with him and had all cash (no financing) offer in two days, five day contingency period, closing in two weeks - and it closed at his recommended list price. I could not recommend anyone more than I recommend Jim the Realtor. more "

"When we moved to San Diego in 2005 we rented a big house on Mt. Soledad (La Jolla) with 180 degree ocean views for the same payment as a mortgage on a dump in Chula Vista. Clearly something was wrong. Yet, the media was full of the usual happy-talk nonsense, so I was glad to find Jim's blog. I've followed his honest assessments and data since. more "

"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 "

Note her frustration when she exclaims “people still debate whether there’s a double dip in housing!”
Of course, we all know San Diego is immune. Or so we’ve been told.
Wow, mainstream is starting to listen.
I agree with everything Whitney stated.
“(R)otting assets on bank balance sheets…”
They are not on the balance sheets after the banks were allowed to avoid mark to market. That was the biggest kicking of the can the government did in this mess.
Hmm don’t know, once it becomes main stream then it is likely about over.
OK to take a somewhat modified Contrarian view,
I will agree that many sales were move forward into April by the Tax credit, and that will make the next few months slower than they would have been,
But I would also think that the market will start to return after a few months, unless the state is not bailed out and they start laying off teachers, Police Firemen etc…
If the State does not receive a bail out before the end of summer, all bets are off, and buckle up.
Bobo,
Buckle up.
Gawd, she’s hot! 😉
Bobo,
If the Feds bail out the state, it’s game, set & match — we’re Greece. Do you prefer a bankrupt state or a bankrupt country?
Well, the states cannot run deficits–and the fed gov can. As long as the fed’s printing presses are going, the fed won’t go bk. Fed deficits in the short term are not the same issue as long-term deficits.
But there’s no reason to believe that WA is riding to the states’ aid. The states will cut programs and hours/lay off workers/increase fees. Buckle up, indeed.
What’s funny is that so many people think that the recession is behind us.
IIRC, tj and I were talking about the govt-led portion of the downturn many years ago on the HBB. (cheers, tj!). 😉
BTW, it’s not a matter of *if* we’ll see a govt-led downturn, but when. State workers are already being notified about actual pay cuts (as opposed to furloughs) and workers across the state (state and local) are going to be contributing much more to their retirements (in addition to pay cuts). This could result in a 10-25% effective cut in pay/benefits (possibly more in some cases), and we’ll probably see a potential 33% cut in retirement benefits.
Hunker down…
