BusinessWeek: Why housing could fall 25%

[jpinpb]

Even if property value does not increase for 95 years, some people will buy a home not for investment purposes, but for tax purposes. Others will pass it on to their kids, grandkids. Some people don’t like to rent and want to do whatever they want in their own home w/no restrictions. There will still be buyers who are not necessarily investors.

If the property market does not begin to appreciate by 2010, then my bet is that it’ll stagnate for 25 years.

The reason is that today’s job market require that people move frequently. Fewer new families can stay put more than 5 years. The ones that can already own homes. Remember, the rate of homeownership is fairly high already.

There will be fewer and fewer new buyers if they think that they need a minimum of 5 years to break even after closing costs.

One reason that the public is confused is because if a lie is repeated over and over again, like in the liberal, anti-capitalist media, then it gets taken as gospel. Goebbels was right, if you repeat a lie, often enough, loud enough, then people will believe you.
I was shocked by this 10 years ago when a friend of mine, at that time, was expressing his viewpoint that the reason there was no peace in the Middle East was because of Israel. That’s the way it plays in Europe because of their media and it is shocking.

There are WMDs in IRAQ! Sorry, i had to. I used to find it funny, but it has become increasingly sad that the most bipartisan issue in America today is hatred of the media. Every liberal considers it too conservative and vice versa. To me, that means it’s pretty well represented with subjective opinions all around.
Anyway, I’m curious whether you consider the lie to be that prices always rise, or that we are headed for a recession. Either way, I would attribute the proliferation of those stories to the fact that airing those topics gains the most viewers and thus, the most $. Kind of ironic that capitalism drives the media to air anti-capitalist sentiment.
