[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh, my.  Good luck.  I am really starting to worry about the market again; a house similar to mine in my neighborhood recently sold for about $125K above what I paid for mine in 2010; the family has been there four months and has no blinds or curtains up, which just strikes me as intensely weird when you live on a crowded city block. The one time I walked by and they had their door open, I noticed they have no furniture in their either.  Like, nothing but a sofa and a flat screen TV in the living room.  Now I am concerned that people are being offered and approved for loans they can't really afford again.  Yikes.[/quote]

Maybe they moved from an apartment. It does take a while to fully furnish a house. I am year 4 into decorating my home and I am only half way through. Even semi-custom pieces take at least 6-8 weeks. [/quote]

Doubtful.  You're telling me it takes 4 months to find curtains or blinds?  Um, no.  I can see the furniture bit, I guess, but you're also telling me that an apartment dweller wouldn't even have a coffee table/side table?  And yet somehow they can afford a house?  I don't buy that either.  Maybe you're right, but it seems a stretch to me.  I would never live on a crowded city block without anything on my windows at all for 4 months.  Not even 4 days. That would be the FIRST thing that went up in my house.  But maybe I'm the weird one, who knows?[/quote]
