Short Lived Price Declines

Lereah had this to say:

"Could it be a 5 percent drop in prices? Could it be 10 percent? Whatever it is, it will be short-lived, because demand is right there on the sidelines," said David A. Lereah, chief economist of the National Association of Realtors.

Whatever it is, it won't be the truth if D.L. says it. He is like a backwards barometer, when he isn't out and out lying, that is.

This couldn't be further from the truth. If demand is so high, why are prices going down and why aren't people buying? What are these "sidelines" he is speaking of" Oh, the renters! Yeah, because us renters can afford these prices, let alone willing to pay these prices.

Thanks, but no thanks. I'll continue renting and saving over $1,000 a month compared to mortgaging my condo while the bubble deflates.

his job is to make sure that dues paying realtors keep making enough money to keep on paying their dues!

so he needs to placate the unknowledgable home buyers into thinking that housing is robust and prices are going to keep on appreciating 15%/year forever. And people want to believe that. They're just sheep.
