Initially this comparison of two sales on the same street had the appearance of an extra-wide spread; $810,000 to $1,100,000. But in the end it was about right – an add of 10% for a bigger south-facing canyon-front backyard, and a minus-5% roughly for short sales.
It helped re-inforce how uniform the pricing is around the tract-house-heavy Carmel Valley, where buyers loaded with internet data are making similar decisions.
So instead of adding the two model-matches across the street from each other on Foxhound that sold within $10/sf of each other, I tacked on two recent foreclosures and a short-sale:
Hello,
You mentioned Adam a couple of times in this video. Who is Adam? A fellow agent?
Does the bottle of Jager in the last one convey?
Yes, Adam is a friend and fellow realtor who was interviewed on video here a while back.
Cry every time you see a solar panel that’s not in some remote off the power grid location. Generally speaking, they take a barrel of oil to create, and only return a half barrel of oil over its life, all subsidized by you, the electricity rate and state tax payers.
Loved the Doobie Bros music
Love the name Caramel Valley. Maybe we could change it to that? Sounds yummy. You have an eye for the odd detail, Jim.
Dan Tanner-As they say over at Wikipedia, [Citation Needed]. Even if your figures are correct (which I doubt), you are not factoring in construction costs on a regular power plant (that is, a solar power plant replaces an natual gas, coal, or other plant, which also takes oil to build). You are also not factoring in the reduction of pollution.
First, Dan Tanner’s figures on solar panel payback are wrong. In time, solar panels will prevail thanks to several things: Monostructured (amorphous) silicon developed by Mitsubishi and going on-line at Chinese factories, tinted and preformed panels that approximate conventional roofing and building code adoption of dual AC/DC home electrical standards.
Second, I really like the color of the floor tiles in this video. Nice touch.
