[quote=Rt.66]I was making light of an extreem flip-flop in attitude due to purchasing a house. And the plea to stop with the bad news, now that they have bought a house.
And how…. now that they are on the other side of the fence the people still on their previous side of the fence, are going overboard.[/quote]
I still think you are making a lot of assumptions. Use the track feature and I think you will find scant participation by WFB on the doom and gloom threads during his or her two years here. Looks like one of those who stick to real estate for the most part. Also, there have always been people who didn’t buy into the doom and gloom and especially “end of the world as we know it” attitudes. I don’t think the long timers here are prone to being impulsive about their outlooks on things in housing and the economy.
I do agree with those who say some of this stuff is actually grim fact, having gone beyond theory and into reality. I see big components of the actual bad news as more likely to result in holding up nominal RE prices not less.
