This is the house I grew up in

It's an odd thing when I look at that place. My first memories are there - among the pine trees in the backyard - and I lived there until I was early 20's.

Of course my parents were there for another 30 years and I visited many a time over those years.

Point being - lots happened. Good and bad. Eras came and went, both as a family and globally.

But I look at it and all I see is stupid shit that makes me want to crawl under a rock.

In January, there were more real-estate agents than homes for sale in the U.S.

New Realtors Pile Into Hot Housing Market. Most Find It Tough Going.

This phenomenon reflects both the extremely tight supply of homes on the market and how surging prices are persuading tens of thousands more Americans to try their hands at selling real estate.

My wife told me about this headline today. Our one buying experience with a realtor was pretty negative. We had maybe 3 total show us a couple houses over the years but once we zeroed in on a region we stuck with one realtor. She was nice and all but just didn't add anything I couldn't already glean online. I guess maybe a local anecdote or two... but really not much. And though we were the buyer I'm sure her presence increased our cost (built in to sellers prices and whatnot).

I have a cousin who i really like who is a realtor but honestly its a profession that needs to go.
