JWM in SD
Participant“JWM, thank you that was insightful. I guess I underestimated my little hobby, thinking it was an electronic modern day barbershop only interesting to those of us participating in it.”
No problem. I’ll go one step further with this. I have long suspected that some of the trolls and newbies who still occasionally post here are really the MSM. Think about it. If you had to report on this story recently, these sites would make your job really easy as a reporter. If you wanted to get some opinions on what the bloggers think then what better way than to ask a stupid question or one that is obviously wrong headed. You would get a barrage of responses that would range from helpful to confrontational (me mostly).
These housing blogs are a treasure trove of information on a really complicated subject and they have a lot credibility right now for having made a lot of correct calls on the RE market.

ParticipantMy wife was in Banda Aceh this time last year with the USNS Mercy on a humanitarian mission. I referred to Phuket because it’s better known than Banda Aceh.

Participant“I hope it doesn’t happen. It’s gonna make people wish that it was only as bad as Enron or Worldcom.”
Yes, and look what happened in response to those two issues:Sarbanes Oxley. The effing bane of my existence or any other publicly held or considering going public company in the US right now. The pendulum swung too far in that one and the credit crisis makes those two look like small change. How far will the pendulum swing in the lending market after the scope of this problem becomes more obvious??
Anyone who thinks that SD home prices can’t decline as much 50% doesn’t know WTF they are talking about because they do not understand far reaching impacts of the credit markets and how they will react. This is why I take issue with those giving advise to would be buyers posting here that it is only an emotional issue and if you can afford to buy and you have a long term view it wil be okay. That is utter bullshit because this is unprecedented and nobody knows how bad it is going to get…only that it has the potential to get really ugly.
Ayone looking to buy a home right now in SD might as well have been standing at the shoreline in Phuket when the tsunami rolled in. You Just Don’t Get It.
