ParticipantArraya it is really interesting. Chris S also issued similar warnings about gold a few weeks ago but of course was shouted down by many people here. The murder of commodities has indeed been swift and of course all of the people who love to talk about how much they have made off gold and such have been silent over the past week. Seems like they are slipping into the hold and hope mode. Other people I spoke to seemed to echo what you are insinuating which is, there is no chance that the Wall Street would let gold run and the 1000 point seemed to be the trigger for them to take action.
So the question is, do you really think they have enough power to continue to knock it down? Right now it is fascinating to see how much it has lost in just a few days. There is no logical reason for it to behave in such a manner. That is the problem though isn’t it? Logic has little to do with much of anything these days.

ParticipantWhy does this surprise anyone at all? Really isn’t this the next logical step in the bailout process?
Just remember this date, April 9th. Lots of fun will happen on that day.

ParticipantUsually things slow down into May/June. Homes that listed in Feb/March/April that are still on the market by the end of June then need to seriously think about meaningful reductions. Many of those same sellers hold out until Sept or later then pack it in for next spring if they do not sell. The smarter ones slash and burn and get the homes sold.
Right now I am pretty darn surprised at some of the active/pending ratios in certain desireable areas. As a buyer I am disappointed by the activity and was hoping for poorer results.

Have your realtor take a look at the situation and consult with them. Have a good strategy for lowballing. Above all make sure you have your financing straight. The odds of them accepting the lowball offer depend on many factors most of which have to do with the amount of time they have been on the market at the current price.
