The price of existing homes last month fell 2.2 percent, the largest monthly decline in the almost four decades the number has been tracked, according to an industry report released yesterday.
Nationwide, the number of existing single-family homes sold fell 14.2 percent in September compared with September 2005, according to the report from the National Association of Realtors. The number of sales has fallen each month since March.
Prices fell everywhere in the country, with the Northeast and West most affected. Declines were more moderate in the South, which includes the Washington area....

The bolded text is a lie. I take all kinds of positions on all kinds of topics.
Then why do you keep posting that all my positions amount to "goldbuggery." My positions are sincerely held, and I am not trying to advertise or "pimp" gold. I wish I had more time, but I really do have to go. Have a good evening (really!).
That's simply not credible.
If you look at cities like Dallas or Atlanta that can grow out in all directions you don't see such long commute times and such high housing prices in the city itself.
I accept your assertion that your positions are sincerely held, but I think there's also a fairly high probability that you are a Democrat trying to make people worry about the economy and pull swing voters away from the GOP. There's nothing unethical about doing that if the mods think your posts are acceptable, and I think that's probably what you're trying to do here.
as an fyi, if you were to properly contend that my statements were inaccurate, then you would show a 10 year study of population growth/decline along with real estate prices in the northeast (which includes, PA,MD,VA,NY,CT,RI,MA,NH,VT, and ME... not just a few blocks in NYC). I could easily show plenty of stats of the population boom in FL since 1995, along with real estate numbers matching my statements. Considering all the newspaper reports in FL over the passed 10 years, I'm guessing its up to you do present your 'facts'. doubt you will.
as for the response to your posts attracting nothing but negative responses, I'm guessing that happens in your real life as well. if you cannot behave civilly on a web post, then i doubt you behave any differently in every day life. of course, maybe you do.. for fear of getting a smack across the chops for wising off to the wrong person.
Are you a drunk?
There must be some reason for your bizarre claims. You twisted Kindleberger 180 degrees, and did it by editing his writing.
"ilk" and "pet" aren't "name calling". I suggest that you enroll in some night classes for remedial English classes.
You haven't "presented" any charts, facts, nor newspaper articles, but you are demanding that I do? And WHY for just Florida...because you've lived there for a bit? LOL
I have lots of friends on FR, I hardly ever get posted "negative replies" and when I do, it's from KOOKS.
I took a quick look at some of your past posts and from questioning dougfromupland's FACTS, to much of the same kind of drivel you have posted to me, you have some sad record here!
Your projection complex problem is astounding. Go get some help and if you can't afford to pay for it, there are free clinics; even in Florida.
I made no "bizarre claims". I not only quoted Kidleberger, right out of his book, I didn't cherry-pick at all; unlike you, who have already, on this thread, admitted that you twisted his words.
"ilk" and "pet" is name calling, unless someone has the name "ilk" or "pet".
as for why would I show stats on FL? because that is what I was talking about... or did you fail to grasp that?
as for negative replies... just look at this thread alone for the response you receive.
as for doug's comments on hillary, i had never seen any articles linking her to a child-prostitution ring and i requested the link. if that is questioning, then get over it.. doug had no problem.
as for the professional help.. that's what you new yorkers are always clamoring for, isn't it?
as for more details...
| [ manhattan prices dropping ] The report notes that while New York's average apartment sales price of nearly $1.1 million was 4% lower than the third quarter of 2005, the average size of the apartments sold during this time was 3% smaller from the year before, possibly accounting for much of the drop in sales price. Similarly, the average condo sale price fell 6% from the year before to almost $1.2 million, but a 5% drop in the average size of condos sold may account for some of this drop. Meanwhile, the average cost of Manhattan apartments and condos per square foot both rose, with the average price per square foot for apartments rising 6% from the year before to a new record of $1,028, and the average price per square foot for condos increasing 2% to $1,108. |

let's see if you do more then call me names this time.
i'm guessing he is just a troll. i have noticed a few names keep doing the same thing. i often wonder if they are the same person.
Yes, you mentioned Florida; but, you also talked about ALL of the Northeast as well. I suggest that you go back and read ALL of your posts to this thread.
"The price of existing homes last month fell 2.2 percent, the largest monthly decline in the almost four decades the number has been tracked."
Could that be because they were unreasonably over priced to begin with?
Not to begin with, but over the last five years or so...BINGO!
Yep, in a few years there are going to be some excellent buys in So. Cal., and elsewhere.
