HM,

Nice find. Several bottom calls throughout the article. But, some reality mixed in.

Rich’s chart here raised some good points about the up/down bubble symmetry (# 3 and # 5):

February Case-Shiller HPI

If we roughly, (and I me ROUGHLY) look at the preceeding dip in about 1996 and take that to the peak of 2005, we have about 9 years. So, 9 years up to the peak and what,
9 years down to the next trough? So, that would be about 2014.

Who knows, maybe things will settle out before that. But, calling the bottom has become a pastime that will likely end up desensitizing buyer and non-buyers alike to ingnore the pundits, and just keep watching the inventory, prices, foreclosure rates, and 30-year mortgage rates.

But for things to be as bad as they are, there still seems to be a lot of positve buyer sentiment out there. Just blows me away….

Wow, a house nearly on the ocean or SD Bay for $837K?
Call me crazy, but even as a small place built in 1990, sounds like a decent deal. What am I missing?

I too agree with Esmith.

I did the same research and did the absentee ballot several weeks ago.

But any prop that rubs agaisnt the grain of seniors (rent control is a holy grain) might be destined for failure. Why the heck did they attach abolishing rent control as a rider?
It might have handily passed otherwise..

Is there a short fuse on these jumbo conforming loans?

Are they scheduled to be available only through 2008?

I had heard this from a friend of mine….

Thanks!
