Bringing my response to this “discussion” over from the front page.
Adam, try to read more accurately and respond in context,not just of what is being said, but in context of those charts up above too. Try not say silly things like that people are threatened. I am not the one who has been singing bullish anecdotes and innuendo, who predicted a “spring bounce” or confirmed it in FEBRUARY. If I were I think I might feel more threatened, whether it comes about or not.
Generally speaking, It would be much easier to discuss things with you if your pitches were not part infomercial,spin, part one-upsmanship and laced with bearish anecdote and innuendo. It’s not that I don’t sympathize ,if needed, but I think the real estate market is a much higher stakes situation for you than me.
Peter asked a very good question about the true meaning of “pending” these day.Why doesn’t that matter? I already said short sales have their problems as viable inventory, so why do you ask me to prove what I already said. I said “It’s nothing new”. The deteriorating jobs situation in running right in the face of a spring bounce and yet we get much bullish anecdote and innuendo so it makes one curious as to the accuracy, and more so as to the effects of tight inventory claims.It is just a discussion.Or trying to be one.
Why if short sales are so bullish and after several months of bullish anecdotes and innuendo ect., are sales down after being high until last fall? I think it is questionable from a point of view of accuracy. Inventory is not falling quickly.
Original sdr,
My comment is nothing serious as I would assume that your snipe about me living in Jamul and being a dabbler in RE would just be a joke . I say this in consideration of who has been more accurate on this blog. Got Chunks?Good luck with your “spring bounce”. I really mean that. Too bad about real estate that you have to sell a lot, show case yourself constantly to the point of spin, and put the other guy down to prove that you are good and ready. Other than that it really is pretty easy.
