Like the Sac Bee, I'm more interested in data that's focused on SFR, so I prefer the 'old' site.

Ok. I can understand why you would want to use the old site because it is, as you say, only concerned with SFR. But the very fact of the matter is, and correct me if am wrong, that national sales data is representitive of all dwellings sold in a given city, whether it be SFR, MFR or condo's- not just SFR. Correct? (I mean, data people love padding the stats, right?) But here's the thing. You can't throw in pretext after pretext after you've stated your postion in a discussion to show that you were right from the get go. Had you said from the beginning that SFR ONLY have a median house value in Sacto of $265K then yes, you are right (even though DataQuick says $280K). I just said from the begining that Sacto was at $374K, I haven't been throwing in pretext's after the fact to make me right. But now that I point out that, in fact, Sacto has an overall median sales price of $315K you're coming up with excuses. "It's the old site that's more reliable, not the new one with more reliable data", " I'm only interested in SFR, I don't factor in MFR or condo's(even though I didn't say that from the beginning), so therefore I'm right". C'mon that's bogus.

Your own website says Sacto has a median house value of $315K. That's fact. I was off by $60K using 9 month old information. You're off $50K using "current" information if you throw out your pretext's. I guess you're $10K more right than I am.

I'm not off at all, you muppet. Here's my next "excuse" -- a C.A.R. release from today that includes data through January. You'll note that the median price referenced for Sacramento is $258,230.

You haven't been throwing in anything, pretexts or otherwise, to make you 'right' because it doesn't exist. Get over yourself, seriously.

The job market is pretty strong for a typical mid-sized American city. What it does not have is the overwhelmingly vast number of positions that somewhere like the SF Bay Area does - I work in software and in the bay there are more jobs than I can possibly take the time to read! So in Sac it takes a little more work, a little more research and a little more time to get a postion.

There you go resorting to name calling when you get pushed into a corner. You really are immature. It's sad. You can't hold a conversation without becoming a screaming queen. I can see that you're the type that has to be right at all costs so I will address your last post and be done with you.

You're last paragraph is hysterical because I never said I was right. At all. Ever. I said this in my last post but this fact must have escaped you as you fervently knuckle punched your post in a slobbering mess of blinded rage. You keep wanting to think that I said I was right when all I did from the very beginning was provide you the link that backed up my original post. That's all it was, troglodyte. Just because you think something in your little brain doesn't mean it's true.

Moving on, I like how you completely ignored my factual citation of your website that showed the median house value in Sacto was $315K. You completely side stepped this fact as if it didn't exist because, I can only assume, it made you look, um, how do you say, tres stupide? You must have been utterly humilated to see your own website contradict you in such a plain and undeniable manner. I don't know what you thought when you saw that figure, but I know what I thought: Bawahahahaha, what an idiot. I mean, you didn't even bother to look at YOUR website before you stuck your foot in your mouth. Again, it must have been utterly humilitating.

And lastly, you have such an ego that you can't even admit when you're wrong. At least I recognized that the Forbes article was outdated. I believe a few days ago you were quoting $265K, now it's $258K, but your own website says $315 and dataquick says $280. Even in the face of all these inconsistencies you still put yourself on a pedestal and proudly claim you are "right". Only someone with a king sized ego would preen and postulate this much. You must be a lonely soul as your ego must fill up an entire room and leave no space for anyone else to breathe. Perhaps you weren't loved enough as a child? Yes, no?
So, later home-skillet. At your next real estate investors club meeting be sure to have some hot cocoa and let everyone know how smart you are. Oh, and as you said earlier, ****!
