Note this is newly contstructed and has no sales record, but is being listed as a possible "short sale", which means very little as long as the builder keeps making payments I don't think any bank will actually agree to losing money in a short sale. And here's why Short Sales Are "Fake Listings." Only 5% Close!

It's all Flaglers' Fault!

By Paul Owers | South Florida Sun-Sentinel February 26, 2008


Sales tumbled 26 percent [in Palm Beach County], to 369 from 496. It was the fewest homes to change hands in any month countywide since the Realtors' group started releasing monthly housing statistics in 1994.

What's more, the expected rise in foreclosures this year will add to the glut of homes already for sale. Last month, 1,746 Palm Beach County homeowners were notified by their lenders that they intend to take back the properties, more than double the 634 from a year ago, according to Realestat.com, a Plantation-based research firm.


Ok, in simple round numbers about 400 homes sell per/month and 1700 are being foreclosed upon in the same period meaning there is a freaking huge GROWING surplus of homes on the market. Growing being the operative word, in simple market terms when supply is greater then demand prices fall or in this case BUST.

For millions of years dinosaurs roamed the earth, then Flagler built the railroad, then there was a land boom, followed by a land bust, followed by a land boom, followed by a land bust...The History of Florida in short.

Sub-prime crisis unfolding & Stuff...

RE: the sub-prime crisis.
Hollow US Economy Revealed By Housing Bust - Madland on CNN

“According to CNN, Goldman Sachs research reveals 30% of mortgages nationwide, or 15,000,000 homes, are now worth less than the mortgages people are paying for them”.
A few DailyKos diaries worth reading:

The links and comments in the above mentioned diaries are very illuminating.

The diarist of: Capitalism is DEAD-- GET OVER IT!!! writes:
“The only thing capitalism is good for really is creating garbage. Seriously. I have observed that most of the things that we labor over is destined to go in the garbage. I have worked as a graphic designer for newspapers and magazines for 20 years, and it is interesting, all of my work ended up in the garbage. As it is for most Americans”.
The quote above is clearly illustrated in the informative video: The Story of Stuff: “…buying less may be the best option of all. Less pollution. Less Waste. Less time working to pay for the stuff. Sometimes, less really is more”.

Pricing history (Not selling history)

Started at $997,999/ $849,999/ $649,999

I don't have any dates because we went open-housing there and still have the "take-one", the first price was crossed off with the second being written in instead and that was about four or five months ago.

Suppose after you buy and fix it up, another banker moves in and starts new neglet?
