Okay. We are not down 25%, just 10% or so…I am most interested in your interest in making sure the facts are “not misrepresented”. I sure as hell haven’t seen ONE single Realtor out there making a statement to the local rag sheets, trying to set the record straight about a SH*T TON of misrepresentations over the last two and a half years. Where were you?
Also, I’m sure you have been asked the question about “is now a good time to buy”? What has been your answer? Yes..no? Or have you given tacit, yet not outright approval (like a nod) when someone has asked you like this: “I better buy now or risk pricing out forever, right?” If so, this is intellectually dis-honest and, of course, about as mis-leading as it gets.
Glad to hear of someone as pissed about mis-leading statements as I am. Since you are in the business and I am not, why don’t you get out there and do something about it? It will benefit ALL of us, as the sooner this bubble bursts (and it will..it can’t be stopped now, nor should it be) the sooner folks can return to treating their houses as homes, rather than investments. (This is the way is almost always has been in this country.)
