Looks like the buyer didn’t agree with you – it appears to have sold for the asking.

Comment on Is Buying a House a Good Investment? by jason mitchell

Misha,
Thanks for the article. I think it’s clear from recent history that buying a home has not been a good economic investment. Banking fraud, high prices, taxes, insurance, repairs, landscaping and other costs of upkeep make this a very expensive proposition. However, we have the benefit of hindsight. I agree that people also buy homes for shelter. The question is; at what cost? And I’m not talking about economics. Prices in the Bay Area have been so prohibitive for the last 10 years, that buying a house for most of us, (I’m a renter), is a direct threat to one’s quality of life. Unless you were one of the lucky ones to buy low and sell high, the income to home price ratio requires the extreme investment of one’s “life force”; time with friends, family, school, personal interests, autonomy, mastery and purpose. A home is not a home, (or shelter), if your never there to experience it. From “waiting to win the lotto before I buy”. Cheers. J

I tried this last night and it was awesome. Ok, for the sake of honesty in full disclosure I should tell you that I am Misha’s wife. Last night he went out with his buddies to a movie and I decided to try his recipe without having him and his usual helpful cooking tips around. The recipe above works beautifully, except I had a thicker piece of meat so I did 180 seconds a side. What’s the magic in this recipe? the shallots cooked in balsamic!
