McAllister on a KPBS program this morning

“There’s some Realtors, some people in the industry, who don’t agree with me,” he said. “And I tend to be an optimistic person. I don’t tend to be a doom-and-gloomer.”

I always wonder how reasonable economic expectations and standard accounting became “doom and gloom”.

interesting that now, just 2 or 3 years after the peak he is saying that we are in a buyers market

[/quote]

By any definition I could find, we ARE in a “buyer’s market.”

A buyer’s market is a market for a good (stocks, housing, etc.) where prices are falling and there are more parties interested in selling than in buying.

“By any definition I could find”

seems like a complete definition would address the ability of the buyers to actually buy the item in question

let’s see, no more:
– zero down loans
– stated income (liars) loans
– cheap jumbo loans
– inflated appraisals

yep, sounds like a buyer’s market to me too

McAllister has all the raw data. He should know better than anyone else.

If he cared about transparency he would make that raw data freely available for download. I’m sure that the piggs here would make some good sense out of it.

scroll to the bottom for McAllister’s county website and notice that the data stops in 2006.

What are the newspaper reporters doing? Why are they not asking for explanations?
