Or even the monthly costs on a modest condo?<BR/><BR/>You realize don't you that even when the economy sucks, it costs a lot of money to take care of a big house.<BR/><BR/>And you must also realize that if the bottom drops out of the real estate market, and you might be right that it will, hold on to your pennies, because it's not just real estate agents who will suffer, but all the people like you who will lose their jobs or have to take much lower paying jobs because the economy got flushed down the toilet.<BR/><BR/>Do you really think that in the 1930 depression when the market tanked that all the lower income people were all the suddenly able to buy houses? Dude they sold apples on the corner so they could by some flour and sugar, they were'nt out house hunting.<BR/><BR/>So while you gleefully pray and wait for the real estate market to sink to 1970s levels (or whatever), try thinking about the larger ramifications of what that would mean to the entire economy and also what it means when you gotta work at The Pink Dot to pay your car insurance.<BR/><BR/>I'm not saying there's no need for a correction or that the prices are sustainable, but the real estate market does NOT tank without the rest of the economy following suit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-89142185670154648562008-02-29T09:16:00.000-08:002008-02-29T09:16:00.000-08:00Apologies on the double posting.
