Left the phone at home. Besides, I haven't paid up my flood insurance yet.
their homes would be worth less than the purchase price
This of course is only a problem if you intend on moving, or are in dire financial straights otherwise and need to mortgage the house.
If you bought a house to, ya know, live in it, you're okay.
No equation has ever been truer...
"Self-regulating" markets = disaster

dire straits, not straights

"Self-regulating" markets = disaster
funny how conservatards are in favor of 'self-regulating' markets but not 'self-regulating' societies.
I put down a weird amount. Like 43% or 47%, something like that.
My bank doesn't like me very much. I called the other day to check out what kind of deal I could get by refinancing, and they were pretty giddy til they saw that I seem to own quite a lot of the house already. Then, less giddy.
All right. I actually have an on-topic question. Atrios, or anybody, whatever happened to mortgage insurance? Last I heard, you had to carry it if you financed more than 80% of the purchase (or appraised) price. Isn't it supposed to protect you and your house under certain circumstances? If it doesn't, what's the point?
Or did the insurers go bankrupt, or just refuse to pay??
funny how conservatards are in favor of 'self-regulating' markets but not 'self-regulating' societies.
They hate welfare for individuals, but are all in favor when it comes to corporations.
I called the other day to check out what kind of deal I could get by refinancing
Despite the precipitous drop in interest rates, I don't see that banks have lowered their rates correspondingly.
According to zillow.com, our home is now worth about fifteen hundred less than what we bought it for.
Not sure how they measure that, though.
the line up is awesome!!!!
Dear, I barely know who Death Cab for Cutie is... hope you enjoy it!
Isn't it supposed to protect you and your house under certain circumstances? If it doesn't, what's the point?
Mortgage insurance is for the benefit of the organisation holding the mortgage, not the person who owes the mortgage.
...they were pretty giddy til they saw that I seem to own quite a lot of the house already. Then, less giddy.
So were you really going to refinance or did you just do that to fuck with them?

There was this dopey feature in TimeOut this week wherein NYers asked strangers to do various things for them (e.g., "Will you let me cut this (Starbucks) line?") One of them was, "Will you help me escape this crappy date?" People were saying "No" to everything but helping people escape bad dates. They were taking the people's cell phone numbers and calling them with "fake emergencies." This sounds like something I would ask watertiger to be on call for. She'd do it, too (as would I for her).
Regarding mortgage insurance, here is a rather prescient article from March 2005.
I put down a weird amount. Like 43% or 47%, something like that.
My bank doesn't like me very much. I called the other day to check out what kind of deal I could get by refinancing, and they were pretty giddy til they saw that I seem to own quite a lot of the house already. Then, less giddy.
Yeah, I put down something like 50%. I got a lot of flak, bankers trying to get me to take out lots more than I needed.
I can see why it's better to have money down when buying a house, but it still doesn't guarantee that you will be able to pay the mortgage.
The main consideration should be can you pay the fricking monthly bill, or not?
Plus, a lot of this crisis is because we are supposed to be so "mobile" now. People buy houses they don't expect to keep for more than a few years. If you think you will stay in a house forever, the only consideration is if you can pay the mortgage. Fluctuating value doesn't matter if you are staying there for the duration.
OT: me and my sister are attending Latitude Festival 2008 in July, we purchased tickets yesterday (it is so nice to be able to afford things like this)
There are some good bands at that festival! I like Franz Ferdinand, Interpol, The Buzzcocks, etc.
Death Cab for Cutie has some catchy songs.
Yeah, though I prefer the original lineup.
Tibet, China and the West; So many questions arise.
Here's a nice picture of my little elevated patio. Now, with extra flower beds around it.

I'm starting to be overwhelmed in the sudden posting riptide, and as I go under, I'm struggling with the question of whether it is polite to inquire of Moonbootica how her bed broke.
It's none of my damned business, of course. And I'm sure there's a perfectly innocuous explanation. *
*AFAIK, HaloScant doesn't have a smiley for "leer".
And Franz Ferdinand performs the useful purpose of writing songs with different parts- like "take me out."
Zillow is notoriously inaccurate. Nevertheless, don't let it bother you. You live in your house and you can afford to pay for the privilege.
Okay...I wasn't sure one way or another about Zillow.
Regardless, I wasn't gonna let some punk-ass website tell me that. 
Yeah, I put down something like 50%. I got a lot of flak, bankers trying to get me to take out lots more than I needed.
Same here. I think I put down 40% on this place. Same exact shit ... and that was 10 years ago.
Death Cab for Cutie has some catchy songs. The kids are all right.
Love their new single, "I Will Possess Your Heart".
from the above-linked Realty Times article from March 2005:
Late last week, NAR jumped into the issue with a warning that "speculative real estate is risky business." However, NAR president Al Mansell, CEO of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage of Salt Lake City, suggested that concerns over the prevalence of speculation-driven purchases and price declines may be overblown.
Mansell said that although a recent NAR study found that 23 percent of all home purchases in 2004 went for non-owner-occupant investments, there is little statistical evidence that large numbers of buyers are flipping their properties -- selling after short holding periods to reap profits.
How's that crow tasting, Mr. Mansell?

I was shocked to see that my credit card interest rate went down a few months ago. But then I bank with a credit union.
Also, I think I owe Moe a brown, bubbly beverage, though I took a lot more words to articulate the same thought.

See me @ 4:13. You'd do this for me, right? You know I'd do it for you.
it will be worth seeing Bill Bailey!
That's very inviting, GWPDA. Drink, you ask? Why yes, thank you. I'll have a gin and tonic, if it's not too much trouble.
So were you really going to refinance or did you just do that to fuck with them?
As renato notes, actual rates haven't moved appreciably even with the various cuts. When they go below 5% I'll re-mortgage. But it was kinda cute.

But I thought they were hoping for America to take out their oppressive government so that they could be free?
shocking revelations of obama's elitism. turns down orange juice AND as senator clinton says shows elitism by saying unemployed people on food stamps are bitter.
no senator. they are not bitter. they are rolling up their sleeves as senator clinton says and getting the job done.
except of course there is no job.
but ignore that part.
So in NYC, you can buy apartments. I know it sounds naive, but I'd never heard of that option until I started posting here.

I'm culturally biased in favor of bands with redheaded lead singers. Except for Simply Red.
i really like Franz Ferdinand as well, i have both their albums on my MP3 player
The Go! Team are pretty funky and Sigur Ros, never heard of them before but there a post punk Icelandic rock band I think, so should be interesting

we can establish a system now, if you like. I'll probably need it.
Sigur Ros! Amniotic whale sounds sung in Lovelandish. Wacky.
When they go below 5% I'll re-mortgage.
Me too. I'm currently at 5.375 on a 30 year fixed, which is already pretty damned low.
Still, I'm betting that the Fed will be virtually giving money away sometime in the next 12 months. At some point mortgage rates have got to drop below 5%, the banks can't keep keeping the spread difference to themselves.
Sounds like a fun time, Moonbootica.

Sigur Ros is um, how we say, an acquired taste.
Lots of comparisons to Radiohead, for better or worse. But I think you have to be in a certain frame of mind to enjoy them. A lot of their songs are pretty long.
we can establish a system now, if you like. I'll probably need it.
Yep, you just call about 0:45 into the date. If it hasn't settled into something acceptable at that point, it ain't gonna get better.
So in NYC, you can buy apartments. I know it sounds naive, but I'd never heard of that option until I started posting here.
For the price of a large house anywhere else in the country (except San Francisco), you can buy a 600 sq. ft. apartment in NYC.
just seems a nice mixture, a bit of literature, poetry, music, comedy and theatre
plus you can hire this company - Tangerine Fields to set up a tent for you plus sleeping bag and blow up bed
quite civilized and make it easier to travel, cuz one can travel light without having to cart camping gear around
I thought they sang in "Hopelandic"....
rates have got to drop below 5%, the banks can't keep keeping the spread difference to themselves.
That's my hope. 4.95% would free up about an extra $120/month, which for an aged retiree on a fixed budget is a good thing.
When they go below 5% I'll re-mortgage.
Me too. I'm currently at 5.375 on a 30 year fixed, which is already pretty damned low.
I'm waiting for low fives ... 5.3% and below ..

The median first-time buyer put down less than 2% to buy a house in 2007, according to the National Association of Realtors. Many put down nothing, even borrowing to cover closing costs.
I am soooo old-fashioned sometimes. Nothing down? Borrowing to cover closing costs? I put about 14% down on my place and would have put more down had I had it available.
As Calculated Risk noted earlier this past week, when buyers have no skin in the game it's to be expected that 'ruthless defaults' would skyrocket among that group of borrowers.

I think that is one bad bet. The underlying story in this financial mess is the complete destruction of the dollar as a currency. This trend has accelerated since Dubya took office with the tax cuts and rapid increase in the twin deficits. The short and long term trends will be one of inflation. As inflation accelerates, interest rates will surely follow.
I still love Bjork, of course.
Oh, yeah. And Tricky will always have a place in my heart.

I think that is one bad bet... As inflation accelerates, interest rates will surely follow.
Oh, absolutely there is going to be inflation/hell to pay in years to come.
However in the short term, the Fed will keep cutting rates. The discount rate could go as low as 1% (I don't think they'll let it hit 0 like Japan did, they have to have some ammo in reserve so to speak).
But at some point, they will have to jack rates up again. I'm betting around late 2009/2010 that will happen, once it becomes apparent the worst of the banking/credit crisis is largely past.
I might be going to see Kanye West this summer. If so, I'll try my damndest to purchase an "Eval Kanyevil" getup.

Timing is everything.
don't count on rates coming down. the fed will cut, but they really don't have much impact on long term rates.

(I don't think they'll let it hit 0 like Japan did, they have to have some ammo in reserve so to speak).
With an inflation rate of 4%, the discount rate is already in negative territory. Rates for borrowers (particularly long term debt like 30 year mortgages) will not follow the discount rate because lenders are not in the habit of giving away their money.
The real interest rate for long term borrowing has historically been around 3% to 4%. This is why, when Jimmy Carter was President, 30 year mortgages were at 17% while inflation peaked at 14%.
OK, it's Saturday and I've been vertical far longer than is my wont on this day, so I'm off for a nap.

I don't do this very often but I give a hat tip to republican senator Tom Coburn who tried to pass a bill where as when the federal government attempts to acquire public land by eminent domain the community in the area would get to vote whether to accept the federal purchase of such land. Of course the losers from both parties overwhelmingly voted it down. by 97-

At least eight people have been killed and more than 50 wounded in an explosion in the southern Iranian city of Shiraz, Iranian media reports say.
The blast reportedly occurred during an address by a cleric in the Hoseyniyeh Shohada religious centre in the city.
Officials told the semi-official Fars news agency the explosion was caused by a bomb. It said at least three of the wounded were seriously hurt.
There has been no immediate claim of responsibility for the blast.
Fars said the death toll was expected to climb. An initial Iranian television report said scores had been killed, but later revised its death toll to "several".

the machine works fine off the mouse but the keyboard is fried--says I am holding down the control button. I tired disassembly and clean up.
No worries, V. Thanks for checking, though. *mwah*

I knew i was starting to get old when I heard a lucinda williams song and thought "that woman would only be trouble."
It is an overcast morning in the Bulaq neighbourhood of Cairo, three hours after the muezzin's call to prayer. The streets are choked with honking cars, while goats - and a few ragged-looking people - pick at piles of stinking rubbish overflowing from metal wheelie bins.
Tempers flare outside a government bakery as the smell of hot baladi (country) bread wafts out from the ovens. There is pushing and shoving as a worker appears at the window to hand out plastic bags of the rough, round flat loaves - each weighing a standard 160 grams (5.5oz)- to customers.
"I've been here since before six and this is what I get," grumbles Umm Islam, her face contorted in fury. "My husband is retired and I have five children and it's not enough."
Others complain of their pitifully small incomes and shortages. In the last two months 11 people have died in bread queues, either from exhaustion, heart attacks, brawls or accidents.
"We are so badly off now we have to eat dogs and donkeys," shouts another middle-aged woman to raucous laughter from the jostling crowd. It sounds like an outlandish joke, but a butcher was prosecuted recently for selling adulterated spiced mincemeat in nearby Giza.
It looked as if this simmering crisis could trigger wider unrest. Last week, four people were killed and scores more injured and arrested in rioting in Mahalla, an industrial town in the Nile Delta, while a general strike left the normally teeming centre of Cairo eerily quiet. "The strike is against poverty and starvation," demonstrators shouted.

The Muslim population in the United Kingdom may now number as many as 2 million, the home secretary, Jacqui Smith, disclosed yesterday during an official visit to Pakistan.
The last published official estimate of the size of the Muslim community in Britain was 1.6 million, based on the findings of the 2001 census. The updated Whitehall estimate confirms the position of Islam as the second largest faith community after Christianity, and means that Muslims now make up 3.3% of the UK population.
The 400,000 increase in the size of the Muslim community in less than seven years demonstrates its position as the fastest growing faith community in Britain, and also reflects the age structure of the community, with more than one-third under the age of 16 at the time of the 2001 census. Outside London, Pakistani Muslims make up more than 43% of the community, with Bangladeshis accounting for 17%, and those from India at 9%. In London, the Muslim community is more evenly split between Pakistani and Bangladeshi Muslims.

Zap--Radio Shack sells these, or did when I worked there awhile back.
My store was close to an airport so I got a fair amount of call for them. Unfortunately I also had a fair number of irate people a couple weeks after the sale, back home and complaining that their USian items just did not work very well even with the converter. Maybe they're better nowadays.

The job market: it's starting to get worse. AT&T just laid off 40,000 people this week.
What's remarkable about that is that it is nowhere in the news. The only place you can find it on the net is buried in a few message boards. Google News has nothing on it. Maybe if the company doesn't tell anyone, it's like it didn't happen. A stealth layoff.
Mickelson just had a long shot that HIT the flag pin and then rolled all the way off the green and into the drink.
The seemingly far-fetched theory that Leonardo da Vinci was of Arab descent has been given new backing in a study, published this week, that suggests his mother was a slave.
It is known that Da Vinci's parents were not married and that his father was a Florentine notary, Ser Piero. In a tax record dating from 1457, five years after the Italian polymath's birth, his mother is described as one Caterina, who by then was married to a man from the Tuscan town of Vinci. It was assumed she was a local woman. But, according to Francesco Cianchi, the author of the study, "There is no Caterina in Vinci or nearby villages who can be linked to Ser Piero. The only Caterina in Piero's life seems to be a slave girl who lived in the house of his wealthy friend, Vanni di Niccolo di Ser Vann."
In his will, the Florentine banker left Caterina to his wife. But on his death in 1451, his house went to his friend and executor, Ser Piero.
The fact that the banker's widow continued to live in the house, soon hiring a new servant, forms the basis for the theory that Ser Piero allowed her to stay in return for freeing Caterina. The slave woman disappears from the Florence records thereafter.

"Backers of Freedom’s Watch once talked about spending some $200 million, a figure that officials now say was exaggerated. Lending to the aura of ambition, the organization moved into a state-of-the-art 10,000-square-foot office in Washington and hired a staff of about 20, with talk of bringing in scores more for a vigorous campaign to promote conservative issues.
Behind the scenes, however, Freedom’s Watch has been plagued by gridlock and infighting, leaving it struggling for direction, according to several Republican operatives familiar with the organization who were granted anonymity so they could be candid about the group’s problem"

Put a bone-in-the-nose creationist in charge of the State Board of Education.
Those people are beyond bitter, they're disposable.

Tim Horton actually started the business himself. His family sold it after he died.
His wife was robbed after he died.
Really Terry? Even when the evil Broad Street Bullies were blood rivals?

I didn't give a fuck about that.
White trash deserves to get fucked. Thinking people don't. Ignorant fucking dead-weight filth, the country can't afford them any more.
Hey, you get no argument from me!
I only drink it when it's chilled to exactly 34 degrees, served in a crystal flute.
I drink it at room termperature, served in a glass with Smurfs on it.
Sadly, now US-owned,
No it's not. They have franchises in the US, but it's still a Canadian company.
Tim Hortons is so great that if you
ordered the 15-pack of "Timbits" doughnut holes at a certain store in Nova Scotia in 2000, they gave you a bag of marijuana!
Aw, they do that at all the Tim's here.

Anyone who questions the validity of Obama's statements need only come here and peruse the ramblings of the stupidest trolls on the Internets. Proof fucking positive.

Good gravy! A "left-leaning" blog is posting links to NRO and FNC to discredit a certain presidential candidate.
We should be so proud.
God, it's 38 fucking degrees with a light, wintry mix.

Wendy's owns Tim Horton's now.

And I asked you to respond, honestly, to what you perceive when you listen to Barack when he refutes such charges.
Well, I guess I am still waiting, eh?

The more they piss and moan and cling to the errors of Repugnicianism, the more I'm glad I embrace all they hate.

Allow me to ignore the troll eating his own vomit, and move this back on topic --
The median first-time buyer put down less than 2% to buy a house in 2007
This is a stunning statistic.
If mortgage writers revert to the old standard of 10-20% down, this is going to slam first-time buyers hard. Given the abysmal savings rate in this country, I severly doubt there are many first-time buyers here in California who could come up with 10% down on a typical house here at current prices (unless they also borrow that from another source).
