DC Home Prices

From Calculated Risk.
From Reuters: Ex-Treasury chief Paulson loses $1 mln on DC home.

Paulson bought the home for $4.3 million in August 2006, and sold the home for $3.25 million on Dec 21st this year. A decline of almost 25%. Ouch.

That is about normal for D.C.

Here is the graph of the price declines for the 20 Case-Shiller cities.

Washington D.C. is off 27% from the peak. The price peak was in March 2006, and prices had already declined about 3% by August when Paulson bought.
I sold in 2005 a year and a half before the peak, not bad.

When Did SNL Become Funny?

Watched the show on hulu.com Sunday afternoon, because I learned Eminem and Lil' Wayne were the musical guest. Original intent was to only watch the musical performance, but mistakenly clicked on the entire show. Had a few laughs. Lot of political slights. Maybe why, I laughed. And as for the musical guests, let me just say I always hated Eminem and loved Lil' Wayne, but I must say with his most recent album, Eminem has me interested. "Love the way You Lie" with RiRi? Not bad. And "No Love" with Lil' Wayne. Okay maybe it's his co-artist, but I'm warming. Plus, my CD player in my car broke. Who knew they still played free music over the radio. And they play RiRi on every single frequency. Over, and over, and over again. Weird.

And remember "Gift in a Box"? Well now there's: I Just Had Sex . Go Asian family!
