muggle, at least in our case, in defense of our realtor, I should say the current events are well outside of their sphere of even imagination, let alone experience. Most have not seen a truly severe downturn in home prices and that too combined with sudden vanishing of mortgage availability. Most of them are going to get dejected and depressed at both not getting offers and more importantly, not being able to convert even a fraction of the offers to sales due to credit crunch. There will be much exodus from the RE profession.
