The new boom is 3 months away, sheeple.  Enough matching the neighbors’ asking prices and still getting lowball offers. It’s time for a PRICE INCREASE!!!!  Reno is a BOOM town.

This gem from Craig’s List was forwarded to me by a loyal and trusted reader.  We both thought it was a joke at first read.  But the poster seems to be a source to be reckoned with.  "I know this becuase (sic) I’m the world expert I own ElectricCars.com."  You can read more about this spectacular opportunity here (and you should, just no liquids around your keyboard when you do if you’re smart).

For the record since that’s what I do, the owner purchased this lot June 2004 for $284,900 (cash?).  It was originally listed in January 2008 for $449,000, and is now at $254,950 on the MLS before the new increase to reflect our rebounding market.  There are two other comparable lots on the street currently listed at $234,999 and $249,000.

As someone who is marketing some of my own vacant lots in this market, I am amazed this guy even got some lowball offers at all.  He must be doing something right that I am missing.  "NO REAL ESTATE FEES SO TELL YOUR REALTOR TO GET LOST, Our realtor will do the TX so it will be legit but I’m not paying som (sic) a-hole 3% to sell this at this price..,".   Maybe I should try using that line to bring in all the offers.   Cheers!
