I heard for the first time in mainstream media some lady on CNBC yesterday say dropping prices are a good thing, because people will actually be able to afford homes.
All the billions in equity you hear people lamenting about homeowners losing was never even their money in the first place. The fact is not everyone can own a home, and there’s still a significant correction underway. Since it’s a hot political topic though, politician’s will pretend to care until a more pressing issue surfaces.
If Congress wants to help, they can take a pay cut and bail out their constituents out of their own pension.

November 28, 2007 at 10:17 AM #104423nostradamusParticipantYes I’m in shock that anyone can justify buying a home now, regardless of their situation (kids, stability, I just like the home, whatever). I’m sure the kids would like it better if you spent that $50k on toys than on depreciation over the next couple months. Sheesh. That’s college tuition right there. That’s private school money. That’s a new Lexus.. that’s… thats… my god I’m rambling.
I did see that SD placed 16 on affordability, and I saw that they tied Detroit… DETROIT! For 3rd place in falling RE prices.
