It seems like Zillow “isn’t working” only when estimates are down.

I can easily see that happening.
Since “real estate never goes down”, the specs did not require the programmers to deal with negative growth.

I don’t think the POTUS gets to decide on economy matters. It’s the likes of Bernanke and Paulson who run the economy, having the president justify their actions in light of his own policy.

But foreign policy is different, and I am terrified by the possibility of an explicitly war-mongering neocon getting into the office.

I understand that for many of us current economic situation seems more important at the moment than foreign policy, but please don’t forget the price of waging multiple wars. That’s much, much more than anything a dem would be willing to spend on bailouts and health care. And much less beneficial for this country.

You might also want to add for the aforementioned RICEBOY cars:

Not that I am into street racing or anything, but what’s wrong with that? At least, you will have something to talk to your neighbors about, other than real estate. If you’re a ‘pig’, your new neighbors will hate you for buying at 70% off peak, so talking real estate is sure as hell not going to make you any friends.

Diego,

This:
The fact that the dollar is worth less vis-a-vis gold and oil is an indication that everything else (food, clothing, consumer goods, land, etc.) will have substantial price increases in the near term. And not because these items will be worth more, but because the dollars we get paid with are worth less.

is exactly what makes today house prices more inflated than ever. If we are paid in dollars and have to spend more dollars on stuff we have to buy, we have that much less money to buy things we wish to buy. We just become poorer, less able to buy a house. And because – unlike oil and gold – you cannot move your house wherever you like, the prices are dictated first and foremost by the local economy.
That’s my understanding.
