RN - Just curious, but is that Zillows.com website kinda real, somewhat on target? I just about fell off my chair!

I went in last night after reading this. I know that my agent said I got a "good deal" on my house that I bought used just 8 yrs ago. I know that prices have gone up, especially in Seattle and I am in a rather prime location, zoning wise. But JEEPERS! Zillows says my little skinny house (where they build 2 long single family, 3 bdrm houses on one lot) is worth $200k more than I paid for it in 1998! Up from $188 to Zillows est. of $390. The 4-BDRM older house next door, other side, is up for sale, I had thought WAY overpriced but only about $5k more than Zillows estimate for it - so maybe that's where they got the figure of $435k. (Altho, I heard tonight they have come down around $30k because they've had no offers after a month because they're using a less expensive Assist2Sale type realtor (no streamlined real estate agents tromping in w/clients) plus the housing market is slowing.

I don't know though, seems pretty weird. Yet, Escapee's experience is running fairly close to Zillow's range it looks like.

P.S.-Escapee, the truly best part of the whole thing is being able declare your tax write-offs, mortgage interest, closing costs, charity paymts, medical/RX co-pays, scads of stuff - something you can't do as a renter. That's going to surprise you at next year's tax time, I'll bet. I've sure got my fingers crossed for you! I never expected to get this house (the 1st house I looked at & it was everything I ever wanted). If it's meant to be, it will happen!

In my case, I'll never sell 'til they're carting me off to the nursing home! My heirs are truly gonna LOVE me I think! Bisc

RN: Well, I guess they got an "Excellent" offer in on the house from another person. But he may back out because there is no RV or boat parking. They had until 5 yesterday to respond to our offer, and didn't until almost 7. Can you say "bad manners", so they are supposed to get back to us today, so I am sure it will be tomorrow. I am about over this house, there will be another one.

RN Mocha, do you have a Build a Bear factory near you? I just got an email alert from them the other day about Hello Kitty. You can get a free Hello Kitty coin purse if you buy the Hello Kitty stuffed animal and enter into a contest to win a Hello Kitty prize package.

It's on the Build a Bear website, on their intro. I saw it. You could probably call the store and find out. If not, I am about 4 miles away from one and can make and send it to you if you like. It's from June 16-18th.

RN, I just got a computerized phone call from Chase because someone tried to use one of my credit cards for an electronics purchase from Hong Kong. Thankfully, they declined the charge and then checked with me. The account is one that I've been meaning to cancel as I haven't used it in several years. Heck, I didn't even activate the newest card they sent me. Anyway, now it's cancelled. Kudos to the folks at Chase for catching that and dealing with my laryngitis-wracked voice while I verified that the charge was NOT mine and cancelled the card. :-)

Sometimes banks do things right!

RN, just finished giving my kat a bath. She is limping on her front paw and my thought was to soak the paw. She loves her bath. Of course, she gets a sore paw on a Saturday. She was fine last night. Sigh.
