[quote=deadzone][quote=sdrealtor]I suspect you are lazy so I’ll give you the cliff notes version. Spot one! No one on this site came close to how accurate mine were. Feel free to confirm

Nice, another douchebag response. Go ahead and keep patting yourself on the back and keep cheerleading real estate prices to the moon. The fact that you don’t realize or care that the majority of young people have no chance of ever being homeowners is not important to you, as long as you are doing well. Great for you.
If you want to hang your hat on predicting that NC would become high end, or OC south, fine but that wasn’t going out on a limb. But you absolutely didn’t predict the 2008 crash as so many on this site warned about. Now you also predict there will not be another crash. Perhaps not, but your track record on predicting market crashes is not good.[/quote]
You are so wrong it’s laughable. Not only did I predict it but I placed bets on how it would play out. That I won and I can link to on this website. I predicted 30% worst case scenario and likely less along the NCC. The actual bottom was just short of 25% here.
In 2004 I told everyone that would listen we were in for severe pain over the next decade but long term beyond that I was a raging bull. In early 2008 I left a major brokerage and set up a small boutique firm with an attorney. We predicted it would be short sales not foreclosures that would solve this. I personally did over 150 short sales the first of which closed in mid 2008. The “short sale experts” that came next and were all over TV/radio were calling us daily to learn how and what we were doing.
You know what’s funny. You had the opportunity of a lifetime. The crash we went through was so obvious to us here. Just the same in 2011 I proclaimed the worst was over on this site. It’s all here and I’ve not said one word I can’t document. But you Mr Permabear being here all along failed to shoot fish in a bucket like so many of us did but somehow think you’ll get yours next time. You can call me all the names you want and make all the accusations you want and I can prove you wrong. You’ve got no one to blame but yourself
