The Bubble Meter Philosophy
The best way to get the housing market thriving again is to drop prices to the point where supply equals demand. Home sellers might not like it, but it's good for buyers and it's great for Realtors.
For Realtors, the best way to make more money is to sell houses quickly, and the best way to sell houses quickly is to convince the seller to drop the price.

Note that at the current rate of decline, within a year or so we will be back to where real prices were not just in 2001 or 2000, but all the way back to the late 1970's.
ReplyDeleteAre these median sales prices?
ReplyDeleteI love this blog. I wish I had known about it before I wrote my book, "Maestro, My Ass!" (available in the usual online places). It would have been a great footnote. (Of course, I wrote in 2003-2004, so I guess it wasn't here yet, but still).
ReplyDeleteCongrats on four great years.
Neville,
ReplyDeleteI truly want to believe this. Im still waiting for prices to drop to half of what they were in 2006 here in montgomery county.
I truly admire your excellent work. You have save me a fortune from my inability to think clearly in real terms.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
This is a very interesting chart. It keeps on going down. Buyers are waiting for the prices to reach the desired budget. Thanks for showing this chart to us. It’s really very helpful.
