ok, this bugs me, because while i am willing to not buy at the absolute bototm, i want to buy near the bottom, like int he vicinity of the bottom. this kidn fo bs strikes me as (1) historically unprecedented on this scale and (2) bad for the future of housing price predictability. like, i have no ehtical problem with gaming the system, but ultimately, if gaming the system goes absolutely mainstream, the system is screwed, isn’t it? somebody ahs to do the honorable thing. it’s like everyone’s caught on…what doe sall this mean?
