Talk to pedro about it. I heard he makes a fortune in the exotic mortgage business.

In my town, prices have pulled back a bit, and there is some inventory now (last year there was none), but the prices are still almost twice what they were 4 years ago. Some bust.

What he left out was that sales have actually increased.Ummm... no. The 9/06 existing home sales SAAR was 5.42 million - 14% off the 06/05 peak.

Rankings based solely on using the Alexa toolbar. Idiot. Most web surfers do not use any toolbar.

Anybody relying on your website for financial news would certainly also be stupid enough to be running Alexa.
It's the same target audience.

I'm thinking of buying some cheap, foreign real estate, and having it shipped here in Chinese cargo containers.Make sure you have 'em go down about 200 feet, so you can make your own little island off the coast!

How about some traffic numbers from ANY source, rather than just bashing.

Waiting around for a 15 year mortgage and 20% down payment and you will living in a rental for 20 years. Strangely enough, when I was making about 2/3 the median household income, I was able to do just that in about five years. And, of course, the banks were horrified that I wanted to put that much money down on the house. It didn't take anything special ... just living within my means and saving a little bit out of every paycheck.

It's not true on my street. Our values are up about 20% in 3 years The proper way to think of it would be "prices", not "values".

I'm a big Dave Ramsey fan! He makes a lot of sense on a lot of financial matters, that's for sure. And his Total Money Makeover plan WORKS.

The proper way to think of it would be "prices", not "values". Good point.
Although, since our family has grown from 8 to 10 since we moved here, our "values" are up 20%, too :-).

You ought to be forced to repay every dollar you made from the housing boom.Is he trying to say that realtors and mortgage brokers stole money from their clients. Is he trying to say that stealing is bad? What is he trying to say?

I sold a home in June in Mt. Pleasant SC. It went for $273K. The real estate company that handled the sale is now out of business and the average home sale price in the neighborhood has dropped between $30-40K.
I own a home in Portland Maine. last year I could have gotten perhaps $265K...today I have no idea as the 2 week turnover of a year ago is now 6 months or so.
All is not well in the housing market.

Whatever it takes. His credibility is so eroded, at this point any smear will do.
