"The housing market is profoundly weak,” said Ken Mayland, president of Clearview Economics. “The economic slowdown really took hold in the third quarter, and, I think, it is going to basically continue through the first half of next year.”This underscores an important fact about the economy. It can be temporarily bolstered by an irrational buying trend, but eventually it returns to reality. 2007 appears to be headed for a reality check."[tags]housing bubble, real estate bubble,housing market,home sales,real estate sales[/tags] San Diego Realtor

While it is currently a buyer’s market, prices are stabilizing and the inventory is starting to turn over, due to the interest rates holding steady and more realistic pricing on the part of the sellers. San Diego attorneys
Instead of giving a bunch of money to different levels of government, why not directly incentivize investors to pick up those houses and get them rehabilitated and back on the market? We all know that local and state governments are not the most efficient handlers of these situations. If they put stuff out for bids, the crisis will be over before they are able to move. If they don’t, they will send work to their friends… regardless of their ability to efficiently do the work.

People want MORE than what they can afford. If they did not, there would be no such thing as a credit card or a mortgage to begin with. If you want to be 100% honest, the only people that can “AFFORD” to purchase a home are the ones that can pay cash. EVERYONE ELSE…LITERALLY EVERYONE ELSE is at risk of borrowing money and not being able to pay it back. They could lose their job. They could die. Anything could happen.

So, who is to blame for all this subprime lending? The Realtors proclaim their innocence from the highest mountains in all the lands, with seven flags from seven hills with bugles blowing and blazing through the night, with a PR campaign to boot and one, which is out of sight.
