Whose Paying Cash For Foreclosures and Short Sales?
Buyers armed with cash in northern California are apparently trumping buyers who need financing, giving them a run for their bid in the San Francisco area, even if the offer is less.

Dallas Real Estate: Wouldn’t You Really Rather Still Be Here?
But where is here? In honor of all the contests we are having — Ten Most Beautiful Women In Dallas — you should vote, these gals are amazing ladies inside and out — and of course, the big cahuna final vote for Best Real Estate Blog In Texas (vote here) — I’m having a mini-Monday morning contest. Tell me the name of this golf course and where it is located, and I MIGHT be able to rustle up an invitation to golf there.

For years, I thought he was an unromantic curmudgeon. Now I know he was trying to save my life.
