Denise Rich´s $65 Million Penthouse Sells for $54 Million




Awful real estate pictures

I followed my own link to skånegårdar.se to read further on Mr Mankell´s mansion. Surprisingly there are actually indoor photos of his home for the public to view! More unexpectedly the photos are terrible! Did the realtor take the pictures him- or herself? Is Skånegårdar AB cutting costs saving in on the few bucks a professional house photographer charge?

I also stumbled on this site with funny real estate photos http://hookedonhouses.net/bad-mls-photos/

Where are the female economics bloggers?

Like many others I am searching for female econ bloggers. Figured, since the supply seems limited I´d start listing the ones I find to facilitate for others!

One of those days

Woke up late (07:30 a.m.), not feeling like getting up at all. I normally wake up early with a smile on my face but this morning I had rather just pulled the cover up over my face and gone back to sleep.

Haven´t been by the office in a couple of days but today I had to hence the office is short on staff. No fun sitting in an empty office listening to the silent phones.....and they are silent in comparison to before.

Been reading articles on the Swedish housing bubble...or more correctly, articles claiming there are no signs of such a bubble. The debate is very confused right now. Bankers, politicians, and a great deal of real estate agents keep claiming there are no signs of a bubble. Public opinion, foreign analysts  and the OECD among others tend to see the warning signs....and so do I, every day at work. We are just waiting for the rest to come to terms with the current situation so we can actually try and do something about it before it gets out of hands. 

Meanwhile I will just get through my day, things need to be done regardless of me pouting or not. 
Better to get things off my desk. I have a bit too much on my plate right now and I think that is why I don´t feel like getting up in the morning. For every day that goes by the pile adds up, and it will keep growing until the 17th of december. 

On the other hand, to cheer up, I have a dinner plans with friends visiting from Germany tonight. That will be fun! Can´t wait to get my hands on a good glass of wine! Just one of those days....
