I apologize too. I do not blame realtors for the mess we are in. The American public at-large is composed of all those jackasses we went to high school went, the majority of whom are extremely stupid. Sometimes, when I consider who I am driving down the highway with and I consider the judgment and reactionary skills of those same people, I ask myself if I am crazy for being in such close proximity to “rolling disaster”. These are the people, along with the Fed, that I blame.
I actually know and respect many realtors. Many are sh&theads, too. Just open up the Sunday UT housing section every Sunday and you’ll see some dickhead telling Joe Q. Public that it has never been a better time to buy. So…sorry for the personal attack. (Unless YOU are that guy…just kidding)
Finally, on the “major crash” subject….since the pendulum always swings to the extremes with asset price bubbles, it appears inevitable that it will occur with this housing boom as well. My point is that the sooner it happens, the sooner we can return to a “normal” market. There will be pain and I don’t truly wish pain on anyone…my friends and family own houses. I have owned and sold two houses myself. You must be tired, as I am, of hearing the VAST MAJORITY of agents talking about a plateau, soft landing, or this being a return to “normal” market conditions. This is what kills me.
