Tony, RE:"I didn't realize this was happening. OTOH, did you take a demographics poll large enough to ensure it was us "crazy excalifornians"?" You don't remember the bumper stickers in the 70s in Oregon and Washington to the effect "don't californicate our state"? Jim

I didn't realize this was happening. OTOH, did you take a demographics poll large enough to ensure it was us "crazy excalifornians"? It is in Prescott, AZ. I was up there a couple of years ago and heard how Californians were coming in and starting the bidding at 125% of the asked price. This was before the new tax rules excluding the first half-million in gains on the sale of your primary residence (exclusions apply so please consult with your helpful IRS agent) so the pressure of having to spend as much on your new house as you received for your last one has probably abated.

Dear Tony: I didn't realize this was happening. OTOH, did you take a demographics poll large enough to ensure it was us "crazy excalifornians"? I drove 9,000 miles throughout the entire West. Everywhere I went from DESERT to Mountains realtors were AMAZED at how people from California were driving up the prices!! I spent one night in a rathole of a place in the middle of a GodForsaken desert and over drinks with a Realtor had him tell me how these "Crazy Y2K types from California" were paying ridiculous prices for basically worthless desert land. The story goes on and on. The overinflated Calif. real estate is effecting values throughout the west. I was in a beautiful place that 10 years ago didnt even have a paved road into town, now a 2 lane road, no hospital etc etc and a building lot was $500,000!!! JDN
