If showing him the May-June numbers ($35k drop in condo median in a single month) doesn’t make him at least do a little of his own research first, I wouldn’t bother. You tried several times, so he won’t be able to fault you in a few years when he’s kicking himself.
I have several acquaintances who bought at the peak and have since lost everything. I tried to talk them out of it at the time, but you have to keep in mind that people have been brainwashed for years by the media and people they still think are experts (RE agents). If he’s going to open houses, those agents are only reinforcing his programming (and they can be VERY convincing) that NOW is the time to buy, so a 10-minute debate with you isn’t going to do it.

RenParticipant[quote=SD Realtor]The company provides a service that is not unique in the sense that they are just requoting what the existing laws are in the state. I am not saying that is bad, it is just something that anyone can find out.[/quote]
There’s a lot of this going around. For example, companies that offer to help you set up a corporation. For as little as $100, not including the government’s fees, they will fill out all the paperwork (a couple pages) and submit it for you. Of course, you’ll have to provide them with all the information that they need to put in the form, a form that you can download yourself from the state government web site.
How people fall for it is beyond me.
