I know this will come as a shock to some, but real estate contractions always follow real estate expansions. I started my real estate career in 1984, just as my area entered the worst real estate market since the Great Depression. I saw some properties go from $90k to $28K, though the average decline was 20%. We survived, and I'm still selling real estate. Market is mixed here, depends on the type of property and the location. Good market, bad market, just means a different plan of action.

I've never seen that many keywords added to a thread in my years on FR.

Take a peek at this post. The poster is must be a mortgage broker or real estate agent. No other rational explanation is possible:

Interesting martyr complex you've got going there.

Thus, they are HATE SPEECH motivated by pure greed...

You forgot your link, but don't worry, I added it in for you. All better!

[nopardons]

No, you are NOT "just the messenger"; you've been posting doom&gloom housing articles for the past 3+ years and not a thing in any of these articles has come to fruition.

Real estate is a cyclical business; it goes up and it goes down. It has ALWAYS been like that.

[nopardons]

Isn't it? LOL

[Petronski]

I bet you're a [CUE: THUNDER and SCARY MUSIC] real estate agent! [CUE: SCREAMS!]
