[quote=paramount]I have been amazed of discussion on this board about how RE in San Diego should roar back in the Spring.
Give me a break!
The idea of a Depression is not out of the realm of possibility.
Instead of RE classes you might consider taking Gardening Classes or others that will aid in your survival.
We may not fall into a Depression, and if not you’ll be a better gardener for it all.

Not sure if you’ve noticed, but all those discussions about RE roaring back have been started by realtors. Supposedly there is just an unfathomable number of people out there who can afford to pay all cash. Those who can afford to put 20% to 30% down is essentially infinite.

December 7, 2008 at 5:21 PM #312583TheBreezeParticipantC’mon, FLU. The best you can do is a story about some laid-off middle manager from the toy industry?
Toys are the most discretionary item in the universe. Of course that industry is gong to get hit during a recession.
And middle managers? Companies can get the most bang for their buck by cutting the layers of middle schmanagement flab.
This guy was lucky to ever have a job. If it wasn’t for the housing bubble, he’d probably be working at some call center or something. Plus, I bet he’s spent all the money he made on frivolous crap and sent his daughter to some $50,000 a year private school so that she could get a worthless art history degree.
Let’s see a story about someone with real skills and a real job who has gotten laid off.

December 7, 2008 at 6:24 PM #312623CoronitaParticipantJust got back from L.A.
Anyway, paramount and Breeze. Frankly, I’m not trying to make a career out of RE (yet). I figure having a license might come in handy if I am in a position to buy something that I see is a good deal. Plus a little extra education in areas that I’m not knowledgeable that leaves me more informed than before, well I figure I’m better off than before.
FWIW, there has been some interest in some relatives overseas with buying homes in the u.s. when prices fall slightly more. So if that ever happens, I might as well split the commission with them than have them give it completely to a stranger.
