Overheard Conversation

I was standing in line a few days ago waiting for my food to be prepared at a local restaurant in Silver Spring, MD (suburban Washington, DC) , when I overheard a real estate related conversation. It went something like this:

Patron: "So how's life? "

Restaurant Server: "Good thanks. [Pause] "How is your new business?"

Patron: "Slowing down. As the prices are very expensive and mortgages rates are rising."

Restaurant Server "Keep plugging. Things are slowing down in general."

Patron "Thanks. [ picking up the food] Have a great day."

Keep you ears and eyes open. This blog adores personal housing bubble related stories submitted by users. :-) Please post them.
