Existing-home prices fall for 1st time in 11 years

[rebeccajo 14]

The housing market and consumer spending has driven this economy for several years now.

Anyway you slice it, it's not good news.

[Ban Hammer 12,835]

Yeah :-) But if you look at the national average its not that high really. When you consider 450 sq ft in the shadow of the WTC will set you back about 650K is it unreasonable that a 1 / 2 hr comute away a 3 bedroom detached on an acre costs about 500K? I dunno. A Nice 2 bedroom on the west side costs what now a million plus?

and this, my friends, is why i'm never moving from kansas city. we have a 15 year old, 4 bedroom, 4 bath home, 2500 sq. ft, on one acre...20 minutes' commute from downtown, in a town with low crime and excellent schools...and we paid $150k for it.

when i hear about real estate prices in other parts of the country, i nearly have a heart attack!

and still others on vj will talk trash about kc

Seriously...I know nothing about Kansas City, I've never heard anything good or bad about it, it's just one of those cities that seems to only exist on paper. What's it like?

Curly,

the fires are under control. And the cost is paid for by Californians. No need to take money from other states. Any tornadoes or floods over there yet? We will send FEMA when they do. Wait a minute, don't they have a permanent ooffice over there?

Nothing we can't handle. Should be completely under control by this weekend. You can rest and put away the rifles for a bit.

overly optimistic

OJAI, Calif. (AP) — Firefighters gained ground Sunday against a wildfire that has burned more than 200 square miles in the Los Padres National Forest, aided by calmer winds and aircraft dropping water and fire-smothering chemicals.

"The fire is still on the radar, but it's not what it was," said battalion Chief Kelly Zombro of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.

Gentler winds allowed firefighters to bring in more than 40 helicopters and airplanes, including a hulking DC-10.

Despite the fire's size — it's grown to 127,569 acres since breaking out Labor Day — no homes have been destroyed. No injuries were reported Sunday, and the blaze was about 40 percent contained.
