I will bsrsharma… I think, though, that it’s more about the rush than anything else. The mortgage brokers, Realtors, and other trades involved with construction and homes have been minting money. They have been on hiring binges, and there was a huge amount of ‘rush’ factor in their business. Just like playing video games, the positive reenforcement of getting the sale, getting the listing, having a quarter of more than double last years mortgage business, etc. made endorphine junkies out of these seemingly normal business people.
Especially those who were teachers, accountants, etc who are now Realtors. These people had somewhat staid and boring jobs, and when they became Realtors, always waiting for the hot sale made them gambling junkies.
Now some of them are trying for the same rush at the poker table. Others will probably get dependent on drugs and alcohol. It’s going to be sad.

November 21, 2007 at 11:24 AM #102467CBadParticipantThese people wash their cars way more often, get their nails done way more often, haircuts, cosmetic surgery, lattes, car buying, house investments, etc. than any other part of our economy.
Very interesting that you say that. I have a friend who works at a high end salon in Del Mar. Business apparently is doing quite poorly right now. You think people always have to get their hair cut, right?! But I think people are getting their services performed less often or going somewhere less expensive. At the moment, some people working there are mailing out “classy” fliers to upscale neighborhoods offering a one time free choice of service.
