I'm so glad I bought when I did. Even though I could have probably bought this house 20K to 40K cheaper sometime last year. Not now the pump monkeys are back at work. But even if I did buy for 20K cheaper, I've done a good faith estimate on what that loan would cost me.
With interest rates almost a point lower, and the price 20K less, my mortgage would be $80 MORE than when I actually bought it.

I think realtors live by sucking the precious bodily fluids out of naive buyers.
They're very similar to spiders that way, only less honest.
Hold on then, what's this?
I saw this little number on a MLS listing. Now at first I thought it was a yearly fee for the horrible crappy Wireless Hollywood wifi that nobody uses. I was ready to pull out my tax receipt to see if I am paying for this crap.
So I Googled it, and guess what? It's a service so international buyers can bid against you, or should we say more obscurity so the realtors can say there's a bid on the house, that's a separate process than county court records, which can be easily verified.
Then upon further reading, it appears to be a fee, that even the Local Buyer fool will have to pay, even if he didn't use the internet bidding process.
