Crib Chatter

It’s time for some time off. And just in time for the housing slowdown, it appears. There are lots of properties still on the market from the spring and summer so I’ll be covering many of those when I return. But there will be a lot of questions for those sellers: What if they don’t […]

It’s time to go to the beach even though we haven’t had any winter. But who knew when I booked this trip 6 months ago? If anyone else is going to be in Aruba, I’ll see you by the pool and that lovely beach. As always, please talk among yourselves. There’s a lot going on […]

There’s time for one last summer fling so Crib Chatter will be on vacation this entire week. Chatter amongst yourselves. I’ll have the update on the market conditions when I come back. Meanwhile, Gary always provides links to his data ahead of time so you can check the July data there. Fall is a good time to […]

We’re in the winter market now where inventory and new listings normally drop. But this year, with already record low inventory, it’s worse than ever. It’s already difficult to find interesting properties to post on. It will only get worse as the holidays approach. Therefore, Crib Chatter is returning to 1 post a day until 2016 […]

I’m in Harbor Country in Southwest Michigan on vacation through the Fourth of July Weekend. Therefore, there will be more limited posts. But I DO have some planned to end this week and one or two for next week. The housing market seems to be taking a break after a red hot spring. There isn’t […]

It’s time to go on vacation again! I’m sure most of you will be enjoying some much needed time off this week as well. I’ll be out of town on vacation all week so we’ll be on vacation schedule Monday through Wednesday. That means there will be just one post a day. (I know…it’s a […]

As most people know, I’m going to attempt to convert CribChatter to a Forum site so that all of you who want to chatter about a certain property or part of the city can do so more easily. With inventory so low, it’s become difficult to find content that is remotely interesting. I thought I’d […]

I just can’t take this yucky weather another minute. Where’s spring? Even the housing market is lame right now. I booked a last minute deal on CheapCaribbean.com so I’m jetting off to Jamaica for the next week. (Can you even believe how cheaply you can get some of those deals?) At this point, I really don’t […]

I’m going to be out of town enjoying myself on the slopes next week (some states have to have some snow, right?) So that means it will be the Crib Chatter vacation schedule! You know the drill by now. That means there will just be one post a day. Sorry. I know it’s boring but you […]

The holidays are upon us and that can only mean one thing: the Crib Chatter Holiday Schedule. Given the way the holidays fall this year, there will be NO new posts on either Christmas Eve, December 24 or on New Years Eve, December 31. There will also be no posts on Christmas Day or on […]
