So Rich what DID you think
So Rich what DID you think of the report? What was printed in the paper didn’t seem to mirror the mood in the room at the Hyatt from my perspective…

I was very disappointed with
I was very disappointed with yesterday’s UT article concerning Anderson’s Forecast.

Anderson projects that “prices will decline less than 2% through next summer, then start to rebound”. Less than 2%!? Based on what???

I am getting sick and tired of hearing all these “experts” call the bottom, but have nothing to back it up. For the last 2 years, these “experts” have been saying that prices would not go down, and now that they have gone down, they continue to say that we’ve bottomed and will be rebounding. They have been continuously wrong, yet the media continues to go to these “experts” for their forecasts month after month. They have no credibility with me.

Yet here we are here on this board, the majority of us have been making accurate predictions about the housing market for the last 2-3 years, and no one is coming to us asking for our take (except Rich, go make us proud tomorrow!)

I would like to know more about who sponsors Anderson. I wouldn’t be surprised if many of the sponsors have a vested interest in talking up the economy and downplaying the housing correction.

This is from the Anderson Forecast Website: “The Forecast Seminar, a quarterly forum sponsored by major corporations, state agencies, and local governments, gives members access to new developments in forecasting technology and software development. Seminar members include Western Financial Bank, Wellpoint Health Networks, Southern California Edison, State of California entities such as the Department of Finance, California Technology, Trade & Commerce Agency, and the State Controller�s office.”

Well done Rich. As you
Well done Rich. As you become a regular on talk radio and tv analysis pieces, you’ll learn to make sure you plug your site up front so that it doesn’t get pushed to the bottom as it did today. You’ve got to look out for #1 at some point.

Great piece – very diplomatic responses to your cohort’s misconceptions.

2 thumbs way up.

Rich, it’s so reassuring
Rich, it’s so reassuring hearing an articulate, well-reasoned argument for caution and moderation in this clearly-precarious housing economy. The “Anderson” dude was so pollyanna in his presentation, armed with few facts, offering what amounted to his unsubstantiated “opinions”. I felt sorry for the poor young guy who called in from Cardiff who’s 3/1 mortgage is resetting in the fall. He wondered wether he should sell or re-fi before the jump in his monthly payment. You gave him the best advice…educate yourself on the current market conditions by reading the VoiceofSanDiego. I hope he follows it. Overall, a very interesting show, and a great performance from Rich. Well done.

Wow, Rich, you sound a lot
Wow, Rich, you sound a lot more reasonable and analytical than I would have guessed based on what I read about you from powayseller.

Just trying to pour fuel on the fire!

Great job, sir! Keep up the good work!

Rich:
Good interview this

Rich:

Good interview this morning. (http://www.kpbs.org/radio/these_days?id=8200)

Nice how your piece on the continued decline of house prices (and incisive critique of the Anderson Forecast) now appears on KPBS’s site under the title of “Worst May Be Over for San Diego Real Estate”.

Of course “may” does include “may not”, so I guess that’s accurate :-).
