ParticipantI agree with UR. I have no idea why this is so landmark. This is a simple case of dumb and dumber. Dumb seller and dumber agent.

ParticipantI think it is more complex then that. I would not call the decrease in prices for certain goods or services deflationary when the clear cause is increased competition. To be sure this is the case with cell phones/plans, other consumer electronics and computers/gaming stuff. Improvements in technology for r&d combined with the cheap labor/manufacturing offshore for those particular products is the primary cause for the improvement in those prices.
However when it comes to commodities that are used for everyday life it is clear that we are in an inflationary environment. Through the past decade we have squeezed and popped bubbles in many different areas, (stock market, real estate, and currently the bond market). However now we are seeing inflation in crucial commodities including food, water and fuel… The free market is determining where our currency should be and unfortunately that will be reflected in higher prices for the stuff we need to live on as opposed to nonessential items.

ParticipantAgreed that as long as rates stay consistent that pricing should tread water. You may see some variations but if you are shopping in the 500k range there is pretty strong demand there. At some point in time rates (in my opinion) will go up substantially but I believe that is pretty far down the road. Taking advantage of cheap cheap credit may not be a bad idea.
If and when rates do shoot up you will see strong depreciation however it may not be proportional to the rate hikes. At some point investors will set the base due to the return they make on the investment as a rental.
There will always be some downside risk to your purchase but the govt has displayed the will to manipulate the market and provide an artificial bottom.

January 27, 2011 at 6:40 PM in reply to: OT: No worries folks, federal debt is now under control #658863ParticipantI don’t understand why you are getting so upset. You said that there was not any legislation introduced when there was. I was simply correcting your incorrect assertion.
What is the problem?
