In the short run this will cause panic, as people feel they are missing out.

In the medium run, this will force more people back to the sidlines. If they cant buy anything they like, why buy?

In the long run this will take a long time to heal.

In no way is this anything more than a realization of the reality that already exists. People like to buy houses, especially when the Government is stimulating the hell out of it and interest rates are just plain stupid. Even if you think they shouldnt.

[quote=peterb]Yes, I think this herd has been starting to buy in the last year or so. Starting with TG. Then others have begun to be infected as well. I’ve been checking this site for about 2 years and it has become much more pro-purchase than when I first came here. I’d say it’s up to maybe 30% in favor of buying now.[/quote]

It all depends on where those people want to buy. TV has come down to a point where a good case can be made that it is a good time to buy a house, if you have the money and finances (job, savings, security…) to be smart about it. Bottom or not, alot of people will take close enough for them.
The nicer parts of SD however are taking longer, so the piggs who wanna live there are waiting longer. So we will eventually get to a point where more and more piggs are buyers as their areas get realistic. This is the natural course of things, and is a good thing.

Then there will be the taunting posts where cause someone is richer than I he must be smarter than I, or because I dont wanna buy when you think it is a bottom it must mean I will never buy. I personally just shrug those posts off, cause they offer little more than a superior attitude most would recognize on a middle school playground. If I miss the bottom and eventually pay more for a house than I could have, eh that is what I get for my decisions. (Imagine that, economic consequences/rewards for my decisions! Currently we are in the special ed, ‘Everyone is a winner’ mentality)

I guess I see a difference between optimists and realists.
I suppose it breaks down like this:

Optimists see a half a glass of water and see it half full, and generally see it as filling full very soon for a variety of inane reasons.

Pesmistists see a half a glass of water and see it half empty, and prob soon to be totally empty for the exact opposit of the varity of inane reasons the optimists cite.

Realists see half a glass of water and see it as a half a glass of water. What happens to it in the future is totally dependant upon what they decide to do about it.

In a personal explaination:
I once wanted to be a pro tennis player. The girls, the money, the girls, the trophies, the media attention, the girls….. my motivation was obvious. I was pretty good for my age too. I was 12 when I got put on the court with a guy who was going pro (though I admit I barly got a ball back and mostly got hammered at). My coach wanted to inspire me.
Problem was over the years, as I walked off the courts, I looked around and realized how many of the trainers, assistant coaches, late 20 something wannnabee’s who were way to old but wouldnt admit it, parents living vicariously through their kid, etc etc were actually just failed wouldbe pro players who never went anywhere. They never had anything else to fall back on, so they became coachs, assistants, overzelous parents….

An optimist woulda looked around and said “I am different, I am gonna be the next Aggasi! No, Aggasi was really the first ME!”

An pesimist would have realized that the odds of me making it pro were near zilch, and never walked onto the court again.

A realist like me will still play on weekends, holidays, and whenever he feels like it, but will also study his ass off to get a good job in Industry he also likes so he doesnt end up serving vollies to 6 year olds in the sun all day.

Sadly in our current system we subsidize the optimists when they fail, ignor the pemisists except when we cant any longer, and tax the realists to pay for it all.
