If I recall this correctly, I believe Warren Buffett was pounding the table about the tech bubble right at it’s plateau. I think we are at the same point with the real estate/credit market. I think we would be in a more panic situation with real estate if the pricing was more transparent. If homeowners were able to see the price fluctuations in their real estate investments, they would certainly begin the panic selling process tout de suite.
That transparency is why in my opinion the housing futures debut is being delayed. There is no real reason being stated for the delay. The insiders fear everyone loading up on the short side to protect their investments. This would incite fear into the market I think, and potentially accelerate selling of properties.
