“housing market is on the verge of stabilizing “
Yes it’s going on right now. Hasn’t made the news yet and it could be a false start.
But we are seeing on the front lines.

The trade group also said its index that forecasts near-term home sales inched upward in October. The trade group's seasonally adjusted index of pending sales for existing homes rose 0.6 percent to 87.2 from an upwardly revised September index of 86.7, This indicator is up for two months in a row.

Realtors make money from selling houses. They make more money from selling expensive houses quickly and repeatedly. I put a Realtor's report on housing prices stablizing (so buy, buy, buy now!) in the same file as I do the radio gold bugs who are trying to sell me their nice shiny metal because prices are sure to go up.
The grain of salt I need for this is about the size of Lot's wife.

History has shown that real estate prices increase over time and that will be the case this time around.
Now is a great time to buy.

Sounds like someone is getting well paid to induce Stockholm syndrome in the remaining surviving population of real estate industry professionals in the country.

When is the last time anyone heard a Realtor quoted in the press saying that “The market sucks, you’d be crazy to sell now”?

Talked with a top real estate broker a couple weeks ago. She has left real estate and is now in insurance. Real estate is dead.

Realtors being objective, unbiased folks who have no personal financial interest in their efforts to talk up the real estate scene.
