SoCal & The Economy ~ Financial Markets ~ Housing ~ Etc

Since we've had a few of these threads going over the last several months, I figure we might as well just keep a single thread going where we can discuss all the relevant economic/financial impacts for Southern California...

»So Cal housing bubble ready to pop?

»CA Real Estate Market Study

»Home Values going down the toliet?

»California; More Leaving, Less Coming

»How many tax defaults can u have before u lose your house?

»Homeowners: Mortgage Interest, Property Tax & Uncle Sam

Fun, I purchased a house last weekend =). Regardless of the market though, I'm in for the long run, and not a quick buck, so if the market fluctuates now and then I won't been too concerned.

Just out of curiosity what were the specs of the purchase/loan...? Do you feel like you got a good deal relative to the area you purchased in?

I purchased the house as a 50/50 partner with my grandmother. The loan terms were a 10/20 loan (interest only the first 10 years, 20 year traditional, rate fixed across the 30). I understand the risks of this type of loan and I will be putting money away in investments to offset my lack of Principal. My goal is to buy out my Grandmother is 10 years, or sell and we split the profits and then I'll have enough in savings and earned to do a full purchase on my own.

We got the house for about $50k under the comps (we set the lowest price on the block). The owner had a previous offer fall through and needed to sell with a quick escrow.

Maybe he's living in it. Some things are more important than money.

850 sounds low. It'll go up when the county reappraises based on your sale.
