I think the realtors on this board are pretty realistic. Yeah, a year ago, some were saying “things will level out” but they’re not now. Now, they’re just as interested as we are to see how low things will go.
Keep in mind, it’s a realtor’s job to stay optimistic. They’re salespeople. They have to. And, people are going to buy houses during a down-turn. It’s inevitable – divorce, or job relocation, or kids, or whatever. Opportunity’s knocking for someone surely 😉
