Sales on 30A for July/Aug 2005

[RiverOtter]

As for a group therapy session, here is what I prescribe: Tea time at Grayton (driving on the beach is left to your discretion, but NO walking on the dunes)in October (bad month, I know) on an evening of a picture-perfect sunset (for kurt) while kathydwells and Landlocked entertain us with their comedy routine. Following that, PhPhay (where is she) can rap us a few songs. We must have a permitted campfire on the beach (October nights are cold!!! ;-) ) while Smiling JOe imparts his philosophy of life and katie blue sings all our troubles away. BANNED is any talk of real estate and/or sales prices, Gulf Trace, hurricanes, biting flies, white shirts, photos IN the dunes, or anyone wearing a thong (sorry River Otter).

And skier, you ARE invited .

Can we do it this weekend Moonrise is this weekend I'll leave my thong at home

I can only say, Skier, that you don't know me and have no right or basis to tell me what I would do in a situation. I'm not a car salesman. I'm not in real estate because I can't do anything else.

Cork,

You are absolutely right. I was wrong to imply what I did. Disagreeing about trends, etc is one thing, its another to say the things I did. I bet you are a very thoughtful, considerate and upstanding woman or man. My comments were way out of line and I am ashamed of putting those particular words on "paper". I will edit them out of my message so as not to offend you in front of any folks that read the post in the future.

I sincerely apologize.

Good post Skier! Others of us have also said things we probably shouldn't have (me included), as they do not progress the debate.

I feel the debate is pretty much dead. Don't we all know where each other stands and at this point some of our opinions may have been changed and others won't no matter how much harping continues.

When you read through the posts here and on a previous thread, it seems that we're not that far apart in several of the basic ideas. Where some seem to be further apart is in the degree of the downturn and how much damage it will do to RE sales.

There seems to be general agreement that "flippers" are the ones to get hurt the most and long-termers remain in good shape and that a number of people put their homes on the market at overly high prices skewing the market. (Some may have gotten lucky and sold.) And I see agreement in that there may be some temporary overbuilding. I'm gleening this from posts, not any facts I've research because frankly, it doesn't interest me enough to research more than what you guys throw out. And as someone posted, gotta take some of that with a grain of salt.

In recent posts you have come around to stating some of the many variables that enter into the pricing (or should enter into the pricing). This was encouraging to see.

Many of us have learned from these threads BUT I think it's mostly all been said now.

Truce!

Umm, Rita and Sueshore--I'm a little concerned about your addiction to SoWal.com. What were you two Texans doing up before the crack of dawn--I mean WAY before the crack of dawn? Sounds like you need a vacation .

And that is why CCK is our therapist!!! As far as my early posting....is there a menopausal smilie RO? I have actually started taking 3 mg of slow release Melatonin and it is working! Used to get up 3:00 - 4:00 am, now it's 5:00 - 5:45 am!!!! The mental picture of this group gathering is so tender! This is one of our better tangents...don't you agree?

You see, I was lying in bed and couldn't get that silly Bozo icon out of my head, plus the beer-drinking, popcorn-eating computer potatoes waiting for the next blow. So I just had to get up and post the attempt at humor that was running through my head before I forgot it! Went right back to sleep after that though. ;-)

 

[Cork On the Ocean]

That's why I love this group. Kinda like family

Skier, you are true gentleman or gentlelady. Thank you and if I've written anything to offend you, of course I apologize. It's not my intention EVER.

Rita, agree with you. Sometimes we need to agree to disagree and just see how it shakes out in the end so I'm putting this one to bed as well.

The thread was quite amusing though, wasn't it. Joe started it with popcorn and the punching gloves (saw that before you edited it). I found the puker icon and learned how to find the bozo icon so all in all, it was good for me. Many more cute icons to come from me now that I've found them.

You can count on me for a tangent, err, I mean therapy.

Slide over, this is getting good.

Edit: darn, looks like a group hug when I thought there was going to be a showdown. Where is my beer?
