I’d trust the words of the Chief Economist of the NAR over almost ANY government employee or polling group.

Oh really? You don't have much to do with DC do you? Would it trouble you to know that they are one of the most powerful lobbyists in DC? But they do it in the public interest, I am sure.

They are just another interest group trying to manipulate markets and political decisions in their favor. It is part of the national game, and that is ok, but that doesn't give what they say any special ring of truth.

In fact, up to a couple of months ago they were denying that there was any problem in the real estate markets.

David Coulthard? He’s a GREAT driver, unfortunately I have never had the good fortune to meet him.

Oh, and if you looked at my ‘About’ page you would see I live a bit West of the District of Columia.

What is wrong with lobbying? It’s common. The NAR does not and cannot manipulate markets. That would be illegal. You are intelligent enough to know that.
