Participant[quote=paramount]Since many piggs are part of the FIRE industries it comes as no surprise so many are pooh-poohing the article and notion that real estate still has a ways to fall. It’s local, it’s this, it’s that, bla bla bla.
Makes perfect sense to me: at some point market forces will overpower gov’t intervention and find true equilibrium.[/quote]
I agree market forces and fundamentals will ultimately govern. Unfortunately, this article doesn;t look at those. They point to recent declines and near-term projhections based on price data, plus Zillow forecast speculation. I see nothing in the article or in Zillow’s methodlogy that relates price forecast to fundamentals.

“…it is unreasonable to expect home values to return to stability by the end of 2011,” said Zillow chief economist Stan Humphries in a statement.
Stan Humphries ????
Really ?
I still think the Chargers’ run to the Super Bowl in ’94-’95 behind his leadership at QB was on of the finest moments in SD sports history, but does that make him qualified to be an expert on home prices ?
