Bubble Sphere Roundup

Last night I went with some friends to the movies and watched 'The Breakup.' One of the characters was a Realtor who was deceptive and thus became a Realtwhore. I was chuckling!

Lots of great posts in the Bubble Sphere this week!

Southern California Bubble found this 'atrocious' real estate posting on Craigslist. Its bad enough they did not know how to spell, but they also put the ad in the 'Apartments for Rent' section of Craigslist. It should be in the 'Real Estate for Sale' section instead.' Its placement in that section violates Craigslist's rules.

Check out Calculated Risk's post about April's 63.4 billion dollar trade deficit.

Housing inventory is exploding in the Phoenix area. The Bubble Markets Inventory Tracking blog has an update on this most bubblicious place. Do I hear 50,000?

The Matrix blog has a noteworthy post about the difference in the rise of imputed rents vs. home prices and how that affects the Consumer Price Index (CPI).

Taking a look at the lighter side. Patch Tuesday has a bubblicious cartoon. :-) Housing Panic posts this YouTube music video about Greenspan, Bernanke, inflation and interest rates. Very, very funny!

Please stay tuned for a hard hitting post for tomorrow.
