    I live in the city of Chicago, I have found it interesting that overall the prices of condos downtown do not seem to be overly affected by the downturn, if in fact the market has lost 10% of it's value I haven't noticed it. Reply

    Only reason I would want to drive a Hummer over a Prius is if I had to drive in a hurricane. Reply

    Housing and Financials: The Worst May Soon Be Over [view article]
    A nice theory...pity it misses out in a grounding in the normal market cycle seasonality. In a "flat" year the price differential between the slowest real estate months (Nov-Feb) and the peak moving months (Summer) is 3-4%. Hence, a decrease in the rate of price changes from February into August could well be the normal market dynamics and nothing to do with the bottoming post bubble...we will know soon when the weak months hit and if the rate of change continues to slow then this hypothesis will have some validity.

    June Case-Shiller Housing Numbers [view article]
    good lord! above me jay who must be a realtor says "buy in phoenix" hey dufus, did you miss the part that the drops in phoenix are actually picking up speed? Foreclosures here keep climbing, and the metro is losing jobs for the first time in over 20 years, yep buy today!

    Another 6 months, maybe, another year? but today? 55K inventory, sales rate barely over 5K a month, and foreclosures over 4K. YOU go buy, smarter people will wait and watch prices continue to fall!     Reply

    I refer all to Barry Ritholtz and his very recent persona: anti-Cassandra. Could be Mr. Jinjigian is wearing her dress. And he ought to wipe that confident smile off his bio photo face. When has one month established a trend? Is this man actually ignorant of the forthcoming slew of mortgages to be adjusted shortly? First buy a cardboard box. Then take his investment advice.

    Has the 3rd derivative brought the price to lon term trend line and then a little some to reflect the market dynamics?

    Keep on going for slow grind for some time to come.     Reply

    While the worst may be over, the bad will persist.

    I think housing prices will remain moribund for at least another year, perhaps more in the highly speculative markets (which everyone knows is CA, FL, NV and AZ).     Reply

    Who has provided evidence that the fall in prices will decelerate at a steady pace? What principle says can't it re-accelerate? True, as the value approaches zero the rate would tend to slow down. Use some common sense, please. Reply
