Venom from realtors right now is understandable. Their world is crumbling, they have essentially been fired from their job yet they still have to go to work, but now without pay or hope of a payday. What is worse, many drank from the punchbowl themselves and are unable to pay their high priced car lease and are having their own arm reset. It’s Randolph and Mortimer screaming “turn the machines back on.” You piggy’s with your rent to price ratio fundamentals are the cause of all their pain, you are ruining everything. I’d be pissed at you too. As an industry they went to the payday advance check cashing place on the corner. They earned three years pay in one year, pissed it away and now they realize they actually should have banked the big money from 2003 to 2005 because that was it, no soup for you. What makes it worse is they actually got used to it and convinced themselves that they deserved the income they earned in the boom, so having the beemer repo’d and taking that job at home depot would have been easier if they had never had a taste of the good life in the first place. The easiest way to be poor is to have always been poor.
