So most people are predicting that this will take some time to play out specially in the “stickier” (i.e. better areas). I am wondering whether the resolve of stubborn sellers could be cracked if waves of wisecracking bears started working with ” buyer agents” (yeah like they represent you) and then just started offering the prices now that they want for 2012 or whenever.
