        Well, that is strangely comforting language in the context of US foreign policy. (I guess that's the intention.) -- nm - con_carne Aug 3, 12:07 1
        
        I have a cynical hunch it really means "We don't want to take the fall" -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 12:09

  - that sounds solid. -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 11:42
  - she gives great advice. far more "in his shoes" than most people would bother to do. - TFox Aug 3, 11:41 3
    - She seems very sympathetic to the writers and not in a bossy, "telling it like it is" manner which I like. - Diva Aug 3, 11:45 2
      - Who is this? I too am impressed by their advice. -- nm - David Aug 3, 12:00 1
        
        Meredith Goldstein, relationship columnist from boston.com -- nm - Diva Aug 3, 12:04
Around here, when selling a house, contingent on "finding a new house" is very unsual. Back in Montreal, not so much. What's it like where you are? - Mop (still 235lbs... on a good day) Aug 3, 11:31 8
- I've seen it more the other way, like buying the new place is contingent on finding a buyer for the place you're already in. -- nm - mafic Aug 3, 11:47 1
  - Yeah, mop has it bakwards, I think. -- nm - Subversive Aug 3, 11:48
- My house is sold, regardless. If we don't find something, we'll be living with my inlaws temporarily until we do. - Subversive Aug 3, 11:41
- Not uncommon and has become more common in this market. -- nm - pmb Aug 3, 11:37
- unheard of. -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Aug 3, 11:34
- Unheard of. But there is a built in (hogh) rental rate if property is not available by a certain date. -- nm - Spawn Aug 3, 11:33
- sounds weird, but i wouldn't know. *pets rental agreement* -- nm - TFox Aug 3, 11:33
- *shrug* -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 11:32
A brief history of video game cheats -- (link) - con_carne Aug 3, 11:31
Here's a house we are going to look at tonight or tomorrow. Much cheaper, and has potential. -- (link) - Subversive Aug 3, 11:29 1
- that's a cool backyard type area. -- nm - CQ Aug 3, 11:31
Subversive: The house you are buying appraised for less than the selling price? -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Aug 3, 11:27 19
- This has been happening regularly lately. Appraisers are being much more cautious. It's killing tons of deals. -- nm - pmb Aug 3, 11:38
- $40k less, as Spawn said. We told the seller we'd remove conditions if she would drop to appraised value. - Subversive Aug 3, 11:28 12
  - dang, sorry to hear that -- nm - Epiphany Aug 3, 11:32
  - Oh :( -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Aug 3, 11:31
  - Won't that just keep happening to her? -- nm - David Aug 3, 11:30 9
    - It might, and we could end up buying the house from her in the future if we don't find something else. - Subversive Aug 3, 11:36
    - Probably not. Some appraisers just stamp it and move on. Get three of them there and you will have 3 different values. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Aug 3, 11:31 6
      - It's also common for people to decide what their house is worth regardless of contrary info and be unwilling to take any less. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Aug 3, 11:35 3
        
        Yes, but arguably whatever the price an independent third party in an arms length transaction is willing to pay is its market value. -- nm - pmb Aug 3, 11:39 1
        
        Right, which is why they only use sold comps, not listing comps. - Subversive Aug 3, 11:42
        
        Definitely. Of note is that she paid $420k for it at the peak of the boom here in Alberta. - Subversive Aug 3, 11:38
      - Not if they know what they are doing. I see it over and over. - Spawn Aug 3, 11:33 1
        
        Yep, and the comps all say that this appraiser was right in the ballpark. - Subversive Aug 3, 11:39
    - Yup. If he was not under a 30 day limit, he could wait her out. -- nm - Spawn Aug 3, 11:30
- Like, 40K less. -- nm - Spawn Aug 3, 11:27 4
  - Wow. That's a solid appraiser. Most of them just rubber stamp the price. -- nm - Mop (still 235lbs... on a good day) Aug 3, 11:28 3
    - our house was appraised for 30k more than we paid. that was nice -- nm - CQ Aug 3, 11:30 2
      - Yeah, bith houses I have boughthave been appraised almost 50k more than what we offered (and was accepted). -- nm - Spawn Aug 3, 11:31 1
        
        (Of course, that was a different time) -- nm - Spawn Aug 3, 11:32
BOOOOOMMMM!!! -- nm - Spawn Aug 3, 11:25 6
- [deleted] 3
  - Kids sleep through it? -- nm - Spawn Aug 3, 11:28 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - heh. I love how they can do this. Amy and I are always worried about tlaking too loud, and yet 4th of July did not even phase Logan. -- nm - Spawn Aug 3, 11:30
- *goes back to your room* -- nm - Epiphany Aug 3, 11:26 1
  - Let me nap for a couple hours and we will see about that second "Boom". - redmond Aug 3, 11:56
