sdagent, I had no doubt you would know how to Google. I tried to Google you but I couldn’t narrow it down for sure, due to that fact that you couldn’t be original with your name. None the less, you still had nothing of value to say. Expose yourself if you want to criticize. Otherwise, move on with your loyal and no doubt similar protégés.
Temeculaguy, I’m glad you assimilate me with the “voice of reason” speakers, though I am not sure I deserve it. Late reading of your posting while I was writing a post: Correct, Rick Campbell is the writer of the economic trends outlook on my website. I agree with most of what he writes which is why I pay him to write it. The stuff I find objectionable or not within my prevue (spelling?), I change in the printed version of the subject matter. This, by the way is how I found my way to this site, as I was researching to replace something for this month’s newsletter. Now, I’ll get to my predictions in a moment, let me clear this up first…I do not hate computers. I have a tablet PC with a broadband wireless connection with me at all times. I say this not to brag, but to let you know that I truly know about it being the one eyed excuse for not producing. I use it far too much (like tonight) to hide from what I should really be doing. But you are right about the shagging babes and DONALD prediction; I have a wife, step son and four daughters (that I know of). And I resemble the internet porn statement! That said, I think I do not have enough knowledge or wisdom to try to influence anyone to do anything they do not already want to do. I am merely an information source for what is happening. I give facts about what I know, it’s true I do not know it all and probably do not know as much as some of you, but I DO tell what I know and I let them interpolate the data how they want to see it. True, if given the chance, I will put a positive spin on anything I feel should be that way. Not because I am trying to deceive anyone, but because it’s how I see the world. If at all possible, I try not to interject too much if any opinion about a house, condo etc. I have been rewarded with lots of referrals directly because of this policy. Good or bad, people do not care about what you think about a floor plan. They want to know what they ask you, no more, no less and sometimes they really don’t really want to know that.
Now if I truly wanted to be an egotist and try to predict what CANNOT be accurately and reasonably predicted, I would say that the market has dropped to a reasonably low price level and that the future looks bleak as far as appreciation is concerned. But, with San Diego experiencing the lowest levels of unemployment in the state and our economy not being tied to any particular sector (like when there was major defense contractor cuts), we are in a good position for stabilization. Our biggest problem is consumer confidence which is influenced by the printed media most of us support in our advertising and the local news for the deadheads that don’t read the paper (like me). Look at the prices of RE in Boston, New York city and Tokyo if you want to see a reason to call our city’s prices (the greatest city in the world) reasonable.
That’s about all the time I have for the night. I am sure there are a couple of pages of ridicule to respond to while I was typing this. I may look at this tomorrow, but I gotta tell you, it’s been enlightening in some ways, but it’s not the best way to spend my time. I hope that you can all get some sort of positive nugget from this “This just in…” thread. After all, we should all be coming here to improve ourselves, our business, the market and especially our nation.
