ParticipantI think you’re call on housing may be a bit too negative. But keep your eye on rates if that’s your driving criteria. They tend to head lower as a recession gets worse. So we may have another year or so of rates at this level or lower. 4.5% to 5% is historically down there. But, if you think we’re going to get inflation this year, then I guess rates will have to rise in the next 6 months or so. Seems like the govt agenda is going to focus on low mortgage rates for some time, though.

ParticipantFrom a resale point of view, pools are considered a nuetral to negative in most areas. But in the desert, I think it’s almost always a positive.

ParticipantGold and the US$ did well today….who’d a thunk it?! I think this is fear speaking to the market. Stocks are hurting and the US$ and gold rising. The market is starting to treat gold like honest money and the US$ as at least as good as the other fiats, if not better. Govt policies are going to ZIRP on fiat currencies. These guys are scared and this is their answer to solve the problem. Make money almost free to the banks. Only one problem, the banks are insolvent. Perhaps if the govts’ get crazy enough, they’ll destabilize their currencies? It’s a possibility that favours gold.
