My Neighborhood is Weirding Out!

I was driving home from the supermarket Saturday afternoon. Couldn't believe all of the sign wavers. Here is three in a group on Mission and Las Posas. On the last mile to my house, I must have passed eight sign twirlers on various corners of Las Posas Avenue alone.




There are a lot of for sale signs in our area. This one seemed to go the extra mile. The newspapers stacked in the driveway didn't photograph very well. To be fair, there is a "Sale Pending" on the sign. I can't figure out why the recent addition of the garage banner and the "Reduced" sign if thats the case.





The neighbor a few doors down recently "harvested" his lawn. It could have been winter wheat. He probably cut the lawn so you could see the "For Rent" sign. At first it had $1895 per month, then a week later it went to $2295 per month. Last week it went for $790 for a room (master bedroom with own bath). The signs gone so I guess the owner has someone living in his master bedroom.

The seller is probably trying to make it look like there is someone interested in buying the house.

Real estate sale sign twirling is a common feature for San Diego as well.

The rent is nowhere near enough to cover the mortgage payment, property tax, maintenance, and insurance.

Watch the roads, too. You will also see lots of moving trucks..

your neighbor is probably "Weirding Out!" and not "Wierding Out!"...

Oops, I'll correct that.

Thanks for pointing it out

no problem...one of the most common spelling errors out there. most people are victims of that word at one time or another.
