Real Estate Brokers Must Hate Economists

As an agent, Ill agree that many agents receive far too much for their effort. A good agent however is at the forefront of market research and becomes more of a client advisor rather than a salesman. I have saved my clients hundreds of thousands of dollars in the past two years at my own detriment. When they wanted to buy, I told them to wait. They still want to buy, and Im still telling them to wait. The transaction costs can of course be had cheaper by selling a home yourself, but that certianly doesnt outweigh bad decisions. While your at it, why dont you get rid of financial advisors and CPA's as well? Tell your family to rely on MSNBC and TurboTax and see what happens.

Housing Prices Expected to Bottom in 2010, 21% Off '06 Highs

Im just curious how they get these numbers. With 600-1000 foreclosures a day in LA we are seeing neighborhoods drop 20% in a month. Florida and many other states are also way beyond 20% from their market heights. Are the states that never saw a big boom just holding the national curve in check? It seems to me that the curve should be a lot steeper and rebounding by 2010.
