Billie Joe Armstrong, guitarist and lead vocalist for the punk rock band Green Day, is selling his Oakland, CA home for $4,850,000. The 5-bedroom, 4-bath, 7,000 sq ft property is located at Manchester, Oakland , CA 94618.
From the listing description:
Sited on the grounds of the former Julia Morgan designed “Red Gate” estate, this stately Mark Becker French Normandy home combines the beauty of the past with the graceful stylings and technology of the present. Fully fenced on over 1/2 acre, this level in 5+ bedroom, 4+ bath home will gratify the senses and captivate the mind. As you ascend the original Julia Morgan brickwork to the formal front entry, the custom Alder wood door and generously proportioned porch come into focus. Rough hewn wooden arches frame panoramic vistas from Skyline Blvd and Berkeley Hills to The San Francisco Bay and beyond.
Some of our favorite real estate commentators were surprised by the home’s conservative decor. Why? The nude walls and mainstream furniture are a far cry from the rocker’s funky, alternative personality. Armstrong and his wife, Adrienne Nesser, have two sons. No word why or where the Armstrong family is moving.

In an effort to stimulate business in what are for most the worst economic conditions in their lifetimes, builders are turning to real estate auctions to liquidate new home inventories. While there are several variations on the basic auction form, including time limits, minimum or maximum limits on bid prices, and special rules for determining the winning bidder(s) and sale price(s), many builders are reporting varying successes. Charlotte-based builder, Southampton Homes has recently engaged Tranzon/Metrolina to auction six custom homes to bidders searching for good values.

Another guest post from MG who went from Wharton to Wall St. to real estate to Blown Mortgage.
The market was up strong yesterday. Other than the shares of bank stocks, you have to wonder why. The worldwide central bank bailout is not intended for the equity investor, or general public, or business, or you, or me. It’s intended for banks, ostensibly to spur lending, but more likely to keep them afloat through next week’s Great Derivatives Unwind. This has got to be a big part of the motivation of the CBs to provide unlimited lending to banks.
Distracted by worldwide stock market crashes, attention shifted away from Lehman’s derivatives’ payouts scheduled for October 21. Recovery value has been set at 8.625 cents per $1.00, which means that sellers of credit protection must pay 91.375 cents to the buyers (according to Creditex, the company that holds auctions).
More than 350 banks and investors signed up to settle credit-default swaps tied to Lehman. The list of participants in the auction includes Newport Beach, California-based Pacific Investment Management Co. PIMCO, manager of the world’s largest bond fund, Chicago-based hedge fund manager Citadel Investment Group LLC and AIG, the New York-based insurer taken over by the government, according to the International Swaps and Derivatives Association in New York.
According to JPMorgan, the largest foreign bank holders of Lehman’s derivatives are Deutsche Bank, Barclays, Societe Generale, UBS, Credit Suisse and Credit Agricole. Overall, as of June 30, 2008, the top ten US banks in terms of derivatives exposure were: JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citibank, Wachovia, HSBC USA, Wells Fargo, Bank of New York, State Street Bank, SunTrust Bank, and PNC Bank, according to the Comptroller of the Currency Administrator of National Banks’ Quarterly Report on Bank Trading and Derivatives Activities for the second quarter of 2008. Lots of other good information too, if you like this sort of thing, as I do.
And this is just the beginning. Few losses are expected from the failed GSEs. Fannie Mae’s senior debt settled at 91.51 and subordinated debt at 99.9 cents on the dollar; Freddie Mac senior debt was 94.00 and subordinated debt was 98 cents on the dollar. Washington Mutual could be another story. It’s Credit Event Auction will settle, meaning prices will be determined, on October 23. Just last week there were credit events at the largest three Iceland banks, all of which have large quantities of derivatives outstanding. These are all financial institutions; industrials haven’t started yet.
Nonetheless, the market’s up. For technical types, Mish Shedlock has a good and almost-understandable-by-laymen explanation of where the market is in terms of Elliott Wave theory. He says, “In terms of price, given the magnitude of today’s move on top of the huge move up from Friday’s low, the rally may be 65% over already. In terms of time, the rally likely has several weeks to a couple of months to play out.” See S&P 500 Crash Count at www.globaleconomictrendanalysis.com
In my opinion, the markets are still very fragile. Charts or no charts, it wouldn’t take much to see another cliff dive. We’ll see what happens next.
