Skipjack,
That needs a little explanation.
Brodie is a California ghost town in central California east of hwy 395. Interesting site.
Kind of have to agree with you.vandenberg - 5-29-2007 at 07:49 AM

Vandenburg,
Sometimes I like to do a fair amount of research and try to give my best shot at a helpful contribution.
Other times I like to shoot from the hip and just put down my first reaction to a post.bajalera - 5-29-2007 at 11:23 AM
777--These are definitely not waterfront homes. They're on the higher part of what look to be stabilized sand dunes that make up the Mogote, and
seemed to be closer to the Ensenada de Los Aripes than to the Bahia de La Paz.vandenberg - 5-29-2007 at 12:29 PM

Skipjack,
I was not trying to criticize your post. Just thought that most Nomads had never heard of this ghost town and were maybe wondering what you were
talking about.

About ten days ago the New York Times ran a front page article describing the crash of the condo market in Miami. The good times there are over, at
least for now, and would-be purchasers are running away from 20 percent downpayments as fast as their legs can carry them. One investor has kissed
off a downpayment of $320,000. -- that's serious money. These are mostly investor-buyers, according to the Times, the smart-money guys who presumably
have some idea of what the future holds, not your average personal-use purchasers who are buying mainly for shelter, not investment.
Now, I don't know if what is currently happening in the Miami real estate market has any applicability to the real estate market in Baja California
Sur(although the two disparate areas have much in common) but the failure of the market in Miami causes me to wonder if overbuilding in the Baja is
about to come to a screeching halt, just as it has in Florida. The sight of those ghostly, uncompleted condo towers -- whose potential puchasers have
a terminal case of buyer's remorse before the deal is even complete --is enough to disturb the sleep of any developer who's financing his projects
with borrowed money. Sales can stand still but interest rates don't.
In view of the bursting of the housing bubble, and also taking into account the recent and precipitous declines in both the American and Asian stock
markets -- a one day loss of 340 BILLION dollars in China, for example -- I'm wondering if we are on the verge of a pullback in speculative
investments in recreational real estate. Ordinarily, when the stock market goes to hell speculative money flows into real estate. But what happens
when the stock market takes a dump and the real estate market is already in the crapper?
There's an old saying -- I think I'm quoting it correctly -- "When American sneezes, Mexico gets a cold."
