  5. I'm laughing at you...not with you. Either you're blind or don't know how to read a graph...where's the bottoming??

    Do you see an indication that this is a bottom and it's going to rise?? Let us know how you think this is a bottoming...oh and don't hesitate to take into consideration the fact that job losses are increasing and foreclosures are too...I wouldn't want you to get the wrong impression or anything like that.

    Cheers!

  6. Thats it Nozzie tell him! Tell him just like you told us. Tell him how the REAL bottom is in 2013 when Case Shiller DC hits 135!

    Hmm, lets see here - On that graph, DC got down to 165 back in March of 2009. Today, DC is at 182.

    So the question is, which is higher 165 or 182. I say its 182, but apparently Noz disagrees.

  8. Oh Wait...Partisan....what are you doing here? I thought you were going to put your money where your mouth is and buy up all the properties you can.

    Oh wait...you did right? That fictitious property you keep saying you bought? Yeah...that one. But hey..buy more...since you know where the markets heading..you'll make a killing!!!!

    Caw, Caw, Caw! Bwahahahahahaha!!!

  9. ANON:

    Sorry mate...that graph doesn't show a bottom...you thinking it's going up doesn't indicate it's not going to come down. So tell me again how you think this is a bottom?

    Oh yea...never mind...unemployment is at an all-time high, faltering economy,lowered wages, increased foreclosures and NODs, hmmmmm yeah....we're good to go ANON! You keep drinking that KoolAid mate.

  10. "unemployment is at an all-time high, faltering economy,lowered wages, increased foreclosures and NODs,"

    And yet, prices have risen from 165 back in Mar 09 to 182 today - oh how sad for you!!!

  11. I guess you don't remember the housing crash a few years ago do you? Lot's of jobs, lot's of loans, all this money...yet prices tanked....

    How sad for you....if only could see beyond the length of your arm.

  12. I think with affordable prices purchasing a new home rather than renting is the best option for everyone.
