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.

Why are the Republicans against the proposed regulation bill? Any chance it has something to do with the lobbyists from Wall Street?
ReplyDeleteWhy are the Republicans against the proposed regulation bill? Any chance it has something to do with the lobbyists from Wall Street?
ReplyDeleteIt's no wonder why Republicans are against regulation, it's the lobbyists getting to the Democrats that is the problem.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Tuskenrayder. The Repubs are ideologically against any form of regulation. Whereas, the Dems can be influenced to drop efforts for regulation reform with the right amount of money from lobbyists. So we are screwed either way, since there is no check-and-balance.
