Why WG has not beaten NY/Boston yet?

Because WillowGlenner has single handed dragged down the market by purchasing his properties at 2001 level. We can win if he starts paying peak prices.

“But expensive does not mean always mean overpriced.”

Hmm, that was the central argument over the turd vs. non-turd debate regarding the last Sunnyvale house featured here.

If the article goes to their heads, simply remind them that they are still in San Jose, which sucks.

Sigh….I have friends in Willow Glen. Maybe if I’m lucky (and if this article hasn’t gone to their heads) I’ll still be able to visit them!

as burbed would say “WOOT!”. WG hardly ever WINS the unaffordability/ridiculously priced sweepstakes here in the bay area- WOW! Now I know what it feels like to be in the winners circle!

I guess they looked at rentals in the area vs buying and decided that meant an area to buy was “overpriced” (if the rentals were much less $$). But an old area like WG has rentals that are the typical 50s era apts… 8-plexes without much in the way of amenities. I actually think renting here is *even more* overpriced than buying.

I used to live in a rent controlled apartment in 10013. Sometimes I think the dumbest thing I ever did was to give that place up.
