Boston Real Estate

Boston real estate does not seem to be hit as hard as other areas of the country, especially like California. Here is my take on it:

1. Real estate in Boston never had the overinflated jump that other areas did.
2. There is a demand for luxury real estate there.
3. Boston is a historic and cultural place to live with plenty to do and see.
4. Even Boston condos have held up pretty well considering that condos seem to take the first hit.

All I ever write about is California real estate, because it is what I know. Do any of you have insight on the east coast market? I'm curious.

Merry Christmas

My wife wanted to take me to Manteca, California, about 40 minutes north of us to see some Christmas lights. She was yipping about how amazing they were, and I was thinking, yeah, yeah, yeah, they're just Christmas lights, we have those in our town too. Was it really necessary to drive 40 minutes? Oh Holy Night, was it ever. These pictures do not do this house justice. I was transformed into a spastic little boy again.

If you live near Manteca, go check this place out, and then afterward go check out the Bass Pro Shop which is more like Bass Pro HEAVEN. Even my wife enjoyed walking around through it, until she was creeped out by the Santa who looked a little too lonely and acted too eager for her to come sit on his lap. She is very reserved and just kept on walking like she was very interested in something over in the knife section. When Santa turned his attention to me, I made a beeline for the knives as well.

After that we went through a drive-thru Nativity Scene on the life of Christ, where the teenaged/young men and women at the crucifixion scene were a little too into it. It wasn't touching, but rather a little creepy like Santa at the Bass Pro Shop. The actors in the other scenes were excellent, but these kids needed to be reigned in if you know what I mean. Two girls were screaming, wailing, and howling at the foot of the cross, and the boys playing the soldiers were yelling at them like wife beaters. "Jesus" was laying on the cross like, "Uh, exsqueeze me? WWJD?"

Who knew Manteca was such a festive holiday town?

Urban Flair

They seem to never end. This place has been on the market for six months, and no takers. I can't imagine why this place has not sold.
Maybe its the boarded up windows?
Maybe its the dried up lawn?
Maybe its the graffiti on the boarded up window?
Maybe it's in a bad neighborhood?
Maybe they are asking too much?
Maybe the inside is a disaster?

Atlanta Luxury?

If you live in the Atlanta, Georgia, area, and you have the bucks to spend, then you need to check out Sovereign Buckhead. Being a simple guy, I know less than nothing about Atlanta luxury real estate, or luxury real estate anywhere, but this looks pretty spiffy if you are into big city living. I have to say, that if I were forced to live in a big city, Atlanta would be number 1 on my list. Buckhead Condos are not your average condominiums, so check them out.

My wife is a nurse, and I keep trying to convince her to be a traveling nurse. In fact, I would not be disappointed if we had to spend some time in the southern United States. Howard, however, is happy right where he is.

Nice View, Nice Try

Three years ago this lot would have sold for this asking price.

Nice view, but this person will be lucky to get $200,000 in my opinion.
