Where's NIRVINEREALTOR ?

NEW -> Contingent Buyer Assistance Program
The Irvine Police have been really busy these days. We've had police chases the past two weeks in our Turtle Ridge neighborhood - helicopters, dogs and all. I always thought it was foolish for the people to "run" from the police; however, both runners got away. The neighborhood is going downhill
 
<p>Trooper,</p>

<p>I am OK. Many thanks. In fact many of us realtors are taking advantage of the slow market to do things that we normally did not have time for. </p>

<p>I now have time to go to the gyms, read a book, go to the beach, work on my personal relationship,.... Life is good!</p>

<p>Many of my escrows did not close due to rattled buyers. A few sales listing turned into leases. Oh well, at least I have a hand full of buyers who are qualified and ready to buy when they feel better about the market.</p>

<p>Sad thing that I am seeing more of is family splitting up. Normally, the wife, or the husband, moves into a smaller nearby house such as condos or apartment, renting. This phenomenon is creating a demand for additional housing of smaller units.</p>

<p>Good thing is I have not seen any suspicious sales lately; those that tend to go into early default and subsequenly into foreclosure. Good for future market.</p>

<p>The credit crunch has not had any impact yet on my group of clients. My luck.</p>
 
Well, I think I can comment for the blog....we're happy to see you back and wish you the best. Hang in there, we'll all be customers eventually !
 
<p>Glad to see NIR posting and doing well. Family and the little things should not be taken for granted and to see you take advantage to enjoy them is a good thing.</p>

<p>I do not like to hear of the family splits even if they inrease your business or anyone elses for that matter. IIRC the last time this happened was the 90s.</p>

<p>Also glad to hear the credit crunch hasn't affected your buyers. I guess our debate about interest rates is over and you are now right it costs more for jumbo loans. I didn't think it would happen this fast and if I had any idea it would I would have said something.</p>

<p>I thought the reason for you not posting was that you were busting your rear in this market but instead you were chilling at the pool with your family drinking a mojito. I can't blame you though because I would hate for you to waste your time when it could be spent for the more important things.</p>

<p> </p>
 
<p>graphrix,</p>

<p>Many thanks for your kind words. You are correct about family and little things in life; famous people who just passed away such as Hal Fishman and Merv Griffin were missed greatly for their devotion to the public; not the money nor the fame that they created for themselves, making you think what is really important in life.</p>

<p>As far as family splitting ups, I also noticed easy money also gave people idea that they do not need each other for financial support </p>

<p>I truly think the IHB bloggers here are of great quality and fun. I did not mean to not comment much as waste of time. I just do not do well with speculation. As you know there will always something new tomorrow, like Warren Buffet bailing out CW (this one puzzles me a bit). I am just happy that I have access to the MLS to track the shift in the market before the press does.</p>

<p>Have a great day!</p>
 
<p>NIR - Buffett won't bailout CW just like he didn't bailout KHOV. He seeks value and low risk AAA and CW's has been downgraded to just above junk. </p>

<p>P.S. I miss Hal a lot. I've watched him all my life. He always called it like it was. </p>
 
<p>This thread makes me lol. You guys are funny! </p>

<p>I don't mean the bummer stuff like divorces and rattled buyers, but the actual jokes. :-)</p>
 
Bump 'cause I'm curious. I think she's off being a jet setter with rock stars, laying by the pool, and enjoying a cocktail.





We miss you NIR!





Hope the increased sales in your neighborhood were your transactions.
