i don't care what area you are looking at, but if you don't have the money, you're not going to be able to borrow it. That slows housing everywhere.

was a 'good deal' at 3500. And you'd STILL be underwater.

Let us look at the NASDAQ circa 2000. At one point it was hi as 4800. Now it's at around 2200. So even after 8 years it's STILL only worth half as much as it once was. Therefore, by your logic, crank454, the NASDAQ

Just get rid of the BAD Realtors, actually the current downturn is taking care of that automatically. R.E. License renewals in Mass. are down.

Charllote North Carolina continue to perform well despite what is going on in adjacent States. Only States with major metropolitan areas are feeling the pinch. However, the economic down turn is translating in other areas such as gas price and automobile industry and other sectors and that might be a bad news, at the same time we know the troops are coming home and that should be a positive thing to look forward to.

Getting rid of realtors are a bit drastic because some people who are selling their homes find it easier to do. I want them and all the other players involved in real estate that buyers and investors used to be regulated the same way appraisers, engineers, and inspectors are. The field of real estate is not fair.
