The problem is that the interviewer never ask the real question. And the real question is no longer “Do you think there will be a big drop in housing price?”
The real question is:
“… Sir, you’re saying the price is not going to drop significantly, how do you explain the current situation in which some area have already dropped 10% while many other area have dropped as much as 15%!?
Oh, by the way, here is a multiple choice question for you:
Are you:
(A) investigated too much in flipping houses?
(B) simply a liar or
(C) ignorant? …”
