Unfortunately the data we get from the county is pretty "dirty".mattgoyerSun, 27 Apr 2008 21:10:34 -0000http://www.urbnlivn.com/2008/04/27/escala-prices-to-increas-june-5/#comment-5248880Just curious Matt...<br><br>What sources are you using for your past sales? I've noticed that some places listed on Redfin as past sales include commercial units, apartment complexes and even garage parking spots such as this one from a Cap Hill Condo that sold.<br><br>unit...<br><br><a href="http://www.redfin.com/stingray/do/printable-property?external_id=61201" rel="nofollow">http://www.redfin.com/stingray/do/printable-pro...</a><br><br>parking spots...<br><br><a href="http://www.redfin.com/stingray/do/printable-property?external_id=51457" rel="nofollow">http://www.redfin.com/stingray/do/printable-pro...</a><br><br><a href="http://www.redfin.com/stingray/do/printable-property?external_id=68679" rel="nofollow">http://www.redfin.com/stingray/do/printable-pro...</a><br><br>I even came across an apartment complex in Bellevue that sold and rather than listing the sale as one sale, it was listed as over 100 different sales with each unit showing the same sales price of over 15MM if I remember correctly.<br><br>It really makes one wonder just how many million $+ places actually are selling.<br><br>How many are actually for sale. Well...it looks like you already answered that one. Many more than are accounted for on the MLS for sure.<br><br>Way too many IMO.EconESun, 27 Apr 2008 20:37:42 -0000http://www.urbnlivn.com/2008/04/27/escala-prices-to-increas-june-5/#comment-5248885Of course they can sell those units, the prices are too low!<br><br>I guess they're trying to artificially inject a sense of urgency into potential buyers hoping to make a sale.TheMightyQuinnSun, 27 Apr 2008 19:21:14 -0000
