Top 10 Home Deals Across America
Posted by enrique s in Links, Real Estate on July 22nd, 2009
CNNMoney recently listed ten great home buys from across America. Some of these look like they could be good deals, but be forewarned: many of these “deals” look like the typical McMansion that got us into this subprime mess in the first place.
I’ve created a table of the homes for sale, which you can enlarge by clicking on the thumbnail below:
I know my wife would kill for an extra bathroom, but do you really need 5 and a half? I guess if you have the money to burn, then $2.2 million is a bargain at a 12% savings. Call me a cheapskate, but I think you could probably do better sifting throught the foreclosure market for some real bargains.
Home prices in my area have dropped over 8% since this time last year, and 18% over the last three years. How have the prices in your area changed?

Barbaric Links: Summer’s Here Edition
Well, the unofficial start of summer, anyway. Hope everyone had a nice holiday. The weather in my neck of the woods was great. They sure messed up the forecast. Here are some of the best posts that I read this past week:
Brett at The Art of Manliness highlighted some motivational posters featuring Theodore Roosevelt;
WC Porter at Wise Bread asks: Are you a hammer or a Swiss Army Knife?;
Brad Isaac at Persistence Unlimited gives us lifestyle changes that stick;
Kevin at No Debt Plan created a stop doing list;
Pat at Smart Passive Income wants us to try virtual assistants;
Scott H. Young tells us not to burn our ships;
Steve at Brip Blap bids farewell to New Jersey;
Congratulations to David as The Good Human turned 3 years old last week;
David also tells us how he lives simply at his other blog, Simple.Organized.Life;
Mr. TML at Tough Money Love warns us not to let this financial crisis go to waste;
Five Cent Nickel tells us that stocks are for losers;
Blunt Money tells us that the universe will conspire to achieve what we want;
Jacob at Early Retirement Extreme tells us that the wealthy shall inherit the Earth;
Free Money Finance says that the poor economy is having little impact on him;
Mark Shead at Productivity 501 shows us that doing something new raises your IQ.
Well, this week in the States, Tuesday is like Monday, so if you’re an optimist, it’s a short work week. Or, if you’re a pessimist, you have 20% less time to get your work done. If you’re a realist like me, just hang in there, Friday’s coming.
