In a post aptly titled A Crazy Decision, Redfin’s blog announced yesterday that they’re temporarily turning away new listing clients. Why? It appears demand for their services has increased so much over the last few weeks — perhaps partly due to the glowing coverage 60 Minutes gave them — that they simply don’t have the bandwidth.
Gotta tell you — that’s a wonderful problem to have!
Pssssst to all you Bay Area folks affected by Redfin’s decision…give me a call.

?RE: Any thoughts on the feds (in)activity this morning??

Good news, your equity line and business line of credit rates remain the
same as yesterday, as the Fed held short-term rates steady today. Why?
Because despite unemployment concerns, the economy is doing fine (1.4%
growth year to date-- thank you exports!), core inflation is under
control at this point, gas prices have dropped over 6% recently and it's
more prudent to maintain a steady helm when the economy appears
relatively balanced.

Condi needs a home?
?Condi needs a home??
August 4 at 1:38 pm
As the term of Still President Bush and his administration is drawing to a
close, and Senator Obama has already completed his first victory tour of the
Middle East and Germany, fueled by an excess of coffee one afternoon, we at
3Oceans have started speculating about where former Stanford Provost,
Condolezza Rice will make her new home.
We are now soliciting housing suggestions for Ms. Rice should she return. We
will assume that she can earn enough on the speaking circuit and through
other "jobs" that price isn't really an object. Send in your answers, and
let us know why you think Condi would like your entry. Pictures are worth
double points.
My entry is for Squire House
http://www.zillow.com/HomeDeta...> at 900 University
Avenue in Palo Alto. 6300 square feet of living area on a 40,000 square foot
lot, its columns, large fence and historic status will remind Ms. Rice of
the White House, and it's on sale with a reduced price of only $12,500,000!
What's your entry and why? ---------

It's a shame Caltrain no longer stops at the Atherton train station during the week. But thank goodness that at least the parking voucher machine at the Menlo Park station are working. ---------

There's a lot of talk going around about how Senator Chuck Schumer may
be responsible for IndyMac's recent failure, but the truth is that he
was only responsible for helping to hammer the final nail in Indymac's
coffin. IndyMac failed because they made a series of bad loans across
both their Alt-A and FHA channels. Wanna know which institution is next?
Stay tuned for WaMu's announcement tomorrow, and keep refreshing the

Belmont, San Carlos, and East Palo Alto all have roughly the same
population, around 30,000. Notice how closely the inventory numbers for
Belmont and San Carlos track each other; in East Palo Alto, however, the
pain continues, with inventory numbers running out of control. ---------
