May 12, 2008 - anybody that decides to buy property now is a fool real estae in america will decline a min of 20% this year , even more in certain areas , real estate went up 20% a year for the last 5 years it could very easliy go down 20% a years for the next 5 years , dont listen to real estate agents telling you its a great time to buy, thats bull shi t ,, realtors are liars , dont trust them .. dont buy wait and save big money ,

May 12, 2008 - This is exactly what I have been predicting! How can a 3 bed 2 bath home in So. Cal that was worth $250,000 in 1996 be worth $900,000 in 2006?? It just doesnt add up! There has to be a major correction with a family of young professionals making well over $100,000 a year can't afford to buy a home within 40 miles of thier job due to inflated home prices!!

May 12, 2008 - screw california's economic growth, economic growth is what causes housing inflation and inflation is what causes homelessness and poverty

May 12, 2008 - it's a lecture from a university?you saw the bubble in the subprime loans

acavideo Says:

May 12, 2008 - Economics is a superficial distraction. Why must we build more houses all the time? Why must the population grow indefinitely and create demand for said houses? Those are the real questions people should ask. Economics exists in a vacuum with no physical limits.
