I almost got into a fist fight with a right-wing guy (Realtor) this morning.
   
Edited on Thu Jan-06-11 10:11 AM by BlueJazz
He was looking at my neighbors house and told her to hold on to it ...that prices were going to go WAY up in the next year now that we have the Republicans back in charge. (I was looking at her internet cable outside...she lost the web..etc)

I didn't say a word...it wasn't my place to get involved. (of course)

BUT..She asked: :What to you think about it, Bud ?
---What I'm about to write is not exactly what was said but not very far off..my neighbor is helping me) :)
I said: Well, as I understand it, Prices will drop even more.
Realtor: What do you mean?
Me: I know lots of people that are under-water right now and who are wondering how to even make their next house payment....and soon these houses will be on the Market..adding to the overflow already.
Realtor: That's not true
Me: I beg to differ.. I know just about every one of them ...I see...ah...maybe 50-60 people each week and know most of my clients
(I'm a IT tech and Microsoft engineer and all that crap) ....tell me things that only their hair-dresser knows. :)
Realtor: (Nasty Tone)..Ah..you're full of it.
Me: (just slightly pissed)"I see the economy getting worse now that the same people who caused this down-turn in the economy are now back in charge again...plus the fact that the spread of wealth is going to get worse..much worse.
Realtor: Oh...you're one of those class-war liberals who don't understand that the wealthy built this country.
Me: Oh..Pleeeese..spare me that right-wing talking points..they're not true...the Rich are the ones that started the class wars.
If the wealthy were not getting all the money, the rest of us could just maybe afford their house payments and wouldn't have to put their keys in the mailbox and walk away from their responsibilities ....and houses wouldn't be sold for half their previous value.
Realtor: (Changing direction) George Bush and the Republicans have kept us safe. It cost us money but WE ARE SAFE! (starting to holler).
Me: Safe from what?? untold thousands of people have committed suicide from this down-turn and millions are under such stress that I guarantee their lives are being shortened...ask any doctor about that.
Realtor: No one's attacked any more buildings.
Me: Oh that's brilliant...right.. and if I turn around and clap my hands 3 times every day, no tigers are going to attack me at night.
Realtor: What??
Me: Never mind..The analogy is way over your head.
Realtor: (Balls fist) maybe you need some sense put in your head.
Me: Don't even think about it pal..you wouldn't stand a chance. It would be a very bad move on your part.
(My neighbor is smiling through all of this..She's a FAR-left intelligent woman)
Realtor: turns around and gets in car..leaves..

Oh me...another day in Paradise
:) :)

Link?

If it was true, generally unlikely with DU, it sounds like the DUer and the landlord may both be idiots.  Local real estate markets are often entirely different from the national picture and perhaps the landlord was right as far as the local market goes.  However the conventional wisdom on the national market is that prices are going to remain depressed for a good while due to a huge backlog of foreclosures to be done yet or already flowing into inventory, regardless of who's in charge.  And it's not because people are underwater, which only matters if you are forced to move, refinance to get cash to blow on something else, or you bought the house to flip it instead of live in it as a home, it's because they can't pay or aren't paying the note they have.

Where I live it won't matter one bit what happens to the rest of the real estate market. It can surge ahead in leaps and bounds. Ours will stagnate. Ole barry has gutted the Space Program and unless someone gives them something to do soon to keep the employees employed then this area is heading down, way down.

Obvious bouncy, but this caught my attention:

OK, you've got a realtor who's willing to forgo the listing of a house (why else would you have a realtor over looking at your house?) and telling the customer not to sell yet.  OTOH, the primitive, in an indirect way, is telling his neighber to go ahead and sell now before things get worse.  What's wrong with this picture?

What I'm going to point out now is way over the BlueJazz primitives head, but it is a recent historical fact than can be confirmed by some simple internet searches.  In the early 1970's, we had a period of inflation where energy prices jumped up, followed about 2 years later by a spike in food prices, which was then followed by an overall inflationary period where everyone's house value basically doubled in a few years.  Wow, sorta sounds like now, doesn't it?

Bookmark this primitives' post and let time do it's thing.  This BlueJazz primitive is going to be made into a bigger fool than he already is.

Our housing market hasn't come close to goin' belly up around here for the simple fact of Americans fleeing their nanny state BS in order to live under sane economics!

Too damn many kalifornicators for my taste though! I just heard Ed Shultz on my local talk radio yesterday! That is totally taboo around here, or used to be! Thank God for the internet so I don't have to listen to his tripe!

There is one big difference, mortgage rates. Under the second most incompetent president home mortgage rates were at 22-25%. A huge part of the housing boom was that as the mortgage rate (I got an adjustable in 1985 at 14.5% and thought it was a deal) went down, the prices went up keeping the monthly payment about the same. That can't happen now.

Unless unemployment goes down, and Oabma does not want it to, the housing market will continue to go down. Unemployment is not going to go down because business owners see the republican HOR as a start, Sotero is unleashing his tyranny by executive fiat. Housing prices in general (RE is local) will not go up until the two branches are communist democrat free and we have a president that believes in the USA. In short, no change other than the slope of decent may lighten up until Obama is out of the WH.
