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.

Ouch! Those rates are getting up there.
ReplyDeleteHere come the foreclosures...
ReplyDeletethis is a huge mess. It WILL be ugly. I wish this mess would not have happened in the first place.
ReplyDeleteIt is beyond huge. So many people are going to be bankrupted and the economy - already in trouble - is going to take a mammoth hit.
ReplyDelete5.2% to 5.8% is a payment of $27 per 100k borrowed. This is still switch to AM/PM from Starbucks territory.
ReplyDeleteI just ead somewhere than over 40% of folks don't understand what they entered into and that their adjustable means payments are going to go up.
ReplyDeleteUnbelieveable.

Hi David,
ReplyDeleteYou'll be amused to know I just received an e-mail from MICA condos, advertising $1,500 in gift cards from places like Caribou Coffee, Ceviche, and Whole Foods for signing a contract, and going to settlement. Looks like this pig is springing for some mighty fine lipstick.
