ParticipantI guess I’m not the only one who noticed the slowdown in traffic here over the past few weeks. I think I agree with DWCAP in that many of the hardcore posters here, including myself, have basically won. Our view has been vindicated for the most part whether everyone wants to admit it or not. DWCAP’s other observation is also accurate. Many of the new posts seem to be deathbed converts who think this is a RE / Foreclosure Miracle site or something. They quickly figure out that it is not what they are hoping for. Additionally, life has a way of distracting one. I know I have not had the time to post, although I still lurk, because there are a lot changes going on in my family. For one thing we are leaving San Diego in a few weeks and moving to the Coachella Valley area. I just spent today interviewing new daycare providers for my 7 month old son.

ParticipantForget about the mortgage. How about 1000 a month for childcare for 1. Wait until the second comes along. Doesn’t get easier. Best of luck in Coachella

ParticipantStill lurking….I check the site at least every other day, but previous posters are right, this downturn is getting downright boring. Ho Hum….Rich doesn’t post as much as he used to (I’m sure he’s got a boatload of clients) and RaptorDuck bought his dream house………………….

ParticipantThe comments about being ultra-contrarian — and needing some sort of affirmation — are spot on, IMHO.
Once upon a time, we had to scour the internet for any kind of information that just might hint of a downturn.
These days, the downturn is obvious to absolutely everyone. It’s all about the waiting now.
There is also “information overload” now, and it would take so much longer to go through all the reports, statistics, articles, etc. and some of us are tired of spending our lives on the internet searching for the truth (speaking as a blog/internet addict who would spend 8++ hours/day doing research).
Still reading RE sites almost every day, but not being as thorough. I’ve long predicted that we’d know the bubble had burst (and gotten near a bottom) when everyone turns away from RE-related sites, TV shows, and conversations. We still have a long way to go, but at least we aren’t in that most painful part of waiting…waiting…waiting, like 2004-early 2007. That part sucked! 🙂
