Didn’t have time to take one, but it was a Mercedes S550 limo with 24” (I think) chrome rims. Ugliest thing I’ve ever seen…even worse than those H2 limos.

This was the same home where I heard the two realtors talking, and one said “We have to score some big money soon.” Seriously…who says that???!?!?

Per MLS rules, an agent has all of like 3 days to get at least 1 picture up on the listing or run the risk of getting fined by the powers to be.

Please don’t be a discourteous puke and quote the spammer unedited.  When the moderator blows out the spammer, your being cute makes twice the work because they have to edit your post too.

Sorry to be the big meanie but I moderate a couple of boards and this is beyond a pet peeve.  The moderators don’t get paid and you are needlessly making more work for them. 

An even better response is to click the box marked ‘report’ and then click the box marked ‘spam’.

Thank you no_vas.

Do not encourage spam by quoting it. Thanks for the extra work.

New report from mortgage insurer PMI Group on potential home-price stability in major U.S. markets lists Orange County as tied for having the highest risk of future home value depreciation.

Orange County has seen the median home price stabilize in 2009 yet this is based on higher priced homes selling at lower prices and the shift in home sales volume.  In fact, foreclosures are at an all time record high:
