Thank you. You may be the only boomer who gives a darn - thank you just the same. (:

Only I'm not a boomer!

the more expensive or exclusive you make something, the more covetous the consumer becomes. That's how you get dupe A into outbidding dupe B: by making the idea of slowly dying of boredom in a 60 year old 900 sq ft

yes.. you said it...

More reason to move out of the overpriced overated bay area.

pointing to the fact that banks insist on a house being on the MLS for at least a week. Is this true in all states?

god knows what their internal policies are regards listing on MLS..

more like hearsay and speculation.

It's not true of every REO or every bank within California. Some will look at offers right away. Others, like Fannie Mae, often have a window for owner-occupants and then a later window for investors.

Central New Jersey

Where exactly are you looking? I'm in central Jersey and I don't see any...

Call it Crazy says

Apparently, your not looking close enough...

Westfield isn't really central NJ..... I know you're new there... you'll
learn...

You're probably correct. I don't know where North ends and Central begins. On Craigslist, it seems that the area around me is generally listed in Central, but that's probably not the definitive guide I'll admit.

To your point--I'm sure there are people in pre-foreclosure in Jersey, but I don't see many empty houses.
