  4. True. but it says "home's value to go up in the next year?" It is not using nuetral language but rather language geared towards price appreciation.

  5. They are called 'leading questions'. They are a major source of "objections" during a trial.

  6. What question did you answer BEFORE getting this screen.

    I've noticed that the questions offered seem to depend on the previous screen answers.

    I don't think you'd've gotten this question if you didn't already answer that you believed there was a housing bubble.
