ParticipantSign ‘0’ the times?
Just saw a hummer commercial. They are offering zero percent financing for five years. hahaha!
Maybe one could live in it after the sheriff takes one’s house away? Then one may drive to Mexico to find a job, doing the jobs Mexicans won’t do.-one muggle

Participanttemeculaguy,
Things are changing so fast that the rear view mirror isn’t much help.
You are sooo wrong. The rearview will be used quite often to recall what green grass looked like.
“When I was a kid, Realtor’s could sell houses in just a few days”
“Papa can I ask you a question?”
“Yes Johnny?“Papa, what is a realtor?”

ParticipantYeah,
What they said.If you read to the middle of the article:
Even with the overall increase in home sales for July, sales are down a deep 10.2 percent from a year ago, underscoring the toll of the housing slump.A better headline would be:
Whoohoo! Sales Suck, but not as bad as last month!I have to say that I did like that you put “facts” in quotes.

ParticipantI was driving around my old stomping grounds in D.C. last week and the traffic was half its usual, as were the crowds at Old Ebbit Grill AND Potbellies near the Whitehouse.
I thought, This is it! George is finally shrinking the Federal Government or the US really had run out of money-OMG!!!Then I remembered. Congress is not in session in August–it’s always like this…

ParticipantDon’t know the story behind the house starting this thread, but I am either seeing a truly devious plan by master Realtors with unusually long-term strategies or strong evidence that many “johnny-come-lately” Realtors that don’t know WTF they are doing.
Since around February I have been seeing POS houses dumped onto the market at $100-200k over likely peak pricing. They sit for two months or so, and then drop some insulting amount like $1k or 5k off a $750k asking price–I assume they are trying to juice the MLS, because a whopping 0.7% is unlikely to whoo even the dumbest buyer.
The story gets better, with another odd-value drop like $7.9k off–I guess they assume since it works for gas stations, it might work for houses.
On one local house I really feel bad for the stupid seller and joked to my wife that I would stick a letter in his mailbox explaining what a fraud his Realtor must be–she thought I really should.
Finally, as the DOM hits triple digits, these houses drop $20k one day and another $40k the very next day–ur?
Thirty more days later, they drop the price a total of $120k, within striking range of a realistic peak price–but now its almost another $100k too high.
And this is happening on several houses, all are POS homes.
Are they hoping that some stupid buyer, with a bad agent (or none) will swing by and think that with the HUGE price drop, it MUST be a bargain?
I guess while they are at it, they’ll load up on some Countrywide stock.-one muggle
