At least 54,000 pieces of overpriced dead inventory stucco hellholes are for sale in the Phoenix area today (not including FSBO's or builder specs)
So let's say you wanted to go visit each of these homes, to see if any are to your liking. Say you saw two homes per hour, looking eight hours a day, seven days a week.
It'd take you 9.3 years to see every home.
So better get started now, 'cause pretty soon, it could take you 10 years, 12 years, 20 years, ...

Steal of a deal
Houses bought at inflated prices. Millions in loan proceeds allegedly pocketed. All ending in foreclosure. In Colorado, it's one part of a nation-leading problem.

With that much inventory building over the last year - there have to be a certain number of people that HAVE to get out...Death, divorce, job loss, healthcare catastrophe, gambling debt...someone's gotta start dropping the comps and get this ball rolling.
Probably one of the sorriest threads I have seen Keith -
Get real - after 10, 20, 30 homes - a decision should be made - if not they should not be in teh market because it is obvious they don't know what they want.
You know I went to my local auto dealer the other day as I am interested in trading in my 04 impala for a new chevy truck..anyway long story short.
All paid off he said he would give me $9,000 for my trade (mint 45,000 miles) of the top of a $23,000 truck, at which point i laughed and said forget the trade ill give it to my wife, lets talk money down and payment terms.
I was going to give him $5000 down, no trade, he comes back with $454 a month for 72 months again i laughed, he starts with the credit thing, so I am like, how can i have credit problems when i owe no one nothing and always paid off my balances in full and on time, he says to me your right I see that but i dont control the credit numbers.
At which point i said, pissed off as i was, you can give a 24 year old punk a $450,000 mortgage and your questioning my credit scores..I said all it is, is a numbers game, are you going to sell me a truck for what i want to pay or what..he said how much a month, i said $300, nope cant do it...ok i said have a good day and walked out the door.
mind you i have bought 5 new cars from these people...ill keep my impala and wait for the fire sales in 07. He has since phoned me twice and emailed me 3 times..
up your ass car salesman, you had a chance to make a commish now you make nothing.
>> mint 45,000 miles.
Impossible. MINT = NEW. A car w/45k miles is NOT NEW.
>> At which point i said, pissed off as i was, you can give a 24 year old punk a $450,000 mortgage and your questioning my credit scores.
Wait - are you saying the car salesman is also a mortgage broker?
Your story, and your spelling, just don't jive...
Hey borkafatty, why don't you get your loan from the bank and sell your old car yourself so that the only terms you are negotiating with the car dealer is price. That way he cant play his number's game.
Better yet, why don't you just buy a car you can afford instead of a car you need to borrow money to buy? You say you don't owe anyone anything, why ruin that now?
The key to not being ripped off is to keep things simple. I don't understand how people walk into a car dealership and negotiate price, trade-in value, and loan terms all at the same time. There are just too many variables to keep straight and too much opportunity for funny business. Unless you are able to calculate monthly payments for a loan with compound interest in your head you should not be negotiating loan terms in real-time.
Good point!
This gets into a whole new interesting subject. When my wife and I bought our first house (which we sold) our credit scores were very interesting. Her credit score was fantastic since she owed money for student loans, credit cards and a car. My credit score was crap. My student loans were paid for, my car was paid for, I had no credit card debt, I had zero debt at all but had a long history of continued on-time payments from paying off my car and student loans and paid off my credit card balance in full for about 10 years. Her score was about 100 points higher then mine. When I questioned this, the mortgage person said that he saw this sometimes and that my problem was that I had no debt. Zero debt reduced your credit score. Go figure.
Since the actual inflation rate is under-reported by at least 2%, that +0.9% - 2% = -1.1% GDP growth.
That, my friends, is called the beginning of a recession. Definitely not something you talk about two weeks before an election.
"Hey borkafatty, why don't you get your loan from the bank and sell your old car yourself"
Selling a car is ONE transaction., buying a car is another. Mix the two, YOU LOSE!
Is the salesman smarter than you? Not necessarily, he/she just has the experience of a lot more transactions!You Don't!
Feed'em S**t, keep'em in the dark!

----------------------
My story dont jive..what i am lying like I have something to prove to you..first off I never said it was new, second, Mr. English Major, I never said a car salesman was a mortgage broker it was an example.. read before you commet otherwise you look like an ass.
And I agree with you thinker, I am going to buy a nice used truck, as i need one for work and hauling things..and you are so right why start payments when in reality I dont have to..I was just trying to avoid spanding my on hand cash.
So ill Look in the $8 to %10,000 range and pay cash..did that jive Anonymous CASH!!!
And as far as credit reports go, same with my wife, 100 points better than mine.
>> read before you commet otherwise you look like an ass.
Commet? What - now we're talking about astronomy?
Please engage your brain before typing. Actually, just go away.
And yes, MINT = NEW. Let me guess - you sell your used crap on ebay and call it mint, right?
P.S. Get the FireFox browser - it checks your spelling as you type. Keeps one from looking like an uneducated ass.
Bork, You need a truck so you can haul all those urinal cakes around.
And theres ample storage for your mop n bucket, paper towels, gum remover, and vacum cleaner. hehe.

HAHAHAH~! good one for sure even got a chuckle out of me.
Dont be jealous guy, when your standing in line at the unemployment office collecting your $300 every 2 weeks, I'll still be making my $1000 a week for a partime job hehe!
see you at the bread line, ..oh wait No I wont hahahha!
SMARTER THAN KEITH said...
Hey Bork,
I agree with THINKER butsince the Impala isin great shapewith 45K miles,I have another suggestion. Drive it until it falls apart.Probably another 6 years. Then bank the $300 monthly payment for 3 years. Then take that $10,800 and buy a foreclosure in Phoenix.Probably get a 220K house at today's price for around $115 then. Then wait another 3 years and sell it for $240K. You will still have the $10,800 plus another $125K in profit,that is the smart way to play it.
-----------------
Ya the wife and I were just talking about it, and I am going used, and paying cash..screw the payments..I need the truck mostly for hardwood floor projects and tile jobs, (ya,ya, my mops, my buckets) my 3 ton of pellets for my pellet stove.
( which I highly recommend great source for heat)
See you can make fun of my side work, but i make great money..and it is all cash..WORK! after sitting at a desk all day it dont bother me at all to get my hands dirty, unlike you Metro-Homo's ..so nope you can kick me in the balls all day, I have no pride its all about the Greenbacks baby.
hey who are you calling a Metro-Homo? :p
No punt intended Metroplex :), and yes Smarter, I have ordered more silver, and actually was thinking of getting out of my money market account what is your opinion on that? It is only $10,000 in savings but not to sure about the Dollar, with all the bad news coming across the AP. Euros you say? hmm.
Not much into currency investments (other than silver coinage which is more of a hobby but extensive hobby to say the least)
you have a link to something I could read.
>> Now STFU before I end up embarrassing you in front of your boyfriend.
Yeah - you and what army of dim-witted, castrated, mental midgets? YOU'RE the one who is delirious, most likely caused by the fumes emanating from the shitter in your trailer.
low grade US Silver coins
----------
I have several, Quarters 1932 & up as well as dimes. I have one Quarter 1932 Blast white 1932-S MS-63 PCGS that I here is worth $1,300, and many many, liberty dollars 1881 and so on. My old man got me into it when i was a young Janitor. hahah! but just started a few months ago buying bars of silver..
gold is nice tho i have not jumped on the band wagon as of yet, I have 1 $20.00 liberty 1903 gold Piece that my father gave me many moons ago.
"When I questioned this, the mortgage person said that he saw this sometimes and that my problem was that I had no debt. Zero debt reduced your credit score. Go figure."
I figure that my 800 score is gonna drop since I paid off my land, closed out all ccards except the debit, and took the cash out of the bank (bot physical coins).
No big deal. They will be rethinking the debt thing in a few years.

Trailer, Actually please don't call it a Trailer it is a Country Coach, get it right White Trash.
"you and what army"
Look at the Educated Guy feeling threaten By Text on a Blog HAHAHA! I better back off he might hit me with his Tilda Key..that is the Swirly Thing with he 1 on it Tuff Guy.
dim-witted, castrated, mental midgets?...
And Leave your Family out of this they did not do anything.
I ment next to the 1.
the mushrooms are like phoenix houses - sprouting up everywhere, even in places you'd least expect or want, uncontrolled expansion
kudzu was my other choice
I lived in Atlanta for three years you would see it growing anywhere that was not maintained. I 285 on the southeast side of the perimeter has walls of it as it climbs the trees. It looks really neat to drive next to a 60 foot high wall of dense green vines. So kudzu is less appropriate, the stuff grows so fast that you can literally watch it grow
Great post Keith. Kind of puts things in even sharper perspective.
