Candid and true. Everyone keeps talking about when we're going to "get back to normal". It's a ridiculous notion if you think about it. Since when is buying a significant asset with NO money down and then EXPECTING 20%+ appreciation been normal? Our view of how the world of finance works needs a serious adjustment.

We had a similar bubble being formed in India…

Now the prices are slowly correcting…

[...] This morning, “Seth” made a comment on the “cool island living web site” post. I believe he intended to comment on the “Chicken Little” entry (either here, or here). I always appreciate comments on the blog and wish more readers would comment. It helps lead to healthy debate. Debate is educational, as well as fun. [...]

[...] It never fails. The Arizona Real Estate Center at ASU just released median home value data. The values are down, so of course the Chicken Little media is crying “the sky is falling!” (again…) [...]

Normal Market -

In a normal market, there is fairly a large number of homes available and an average number of buyers. This market does not necessarily favor the buyer or the seller. A seller may not have as many offers on their home, but he or she may not be desperate to sell either. Again, it is the buyer’s responsibility to be prepared. During a normal market, the chances to negotiate are higher than in a hot market. As a buyer, you can expect to make offers at lower than the asking price and negotiate a price at least somewhat less than what the sellers are asking…

I couldn’t agree more — sales are down from record highs, but that doesn’t mean that the ship is sinking. The fact of the matter is that the real estate market fluctuates, and what goes up will eventually come down (but won’t necessarily crash land).

[...] The Phoenix Real Estate Guy has a cool new theme and a link-rich post on the mainstream media’s bubble frenzy. Blogger Jay Thompson asks if we ever heard back from ASU’s Dr. Jay Butler regarding a question we asked of him months ago. The answer: Like fun! In other markets, real estate practitioners have a place at the table, even if it’s below the salt. In Phoenix, we get data we can’t verify — but which does not correspond in any discernible way to the data we can verify — and the gut feelings — reported as facts — of people who don’t actually sell real estate. I used to have a lot of fun picking on Dr. Butler and Arizona Republic real estate reporter Catherine Burroughs. By now, they’re just dead bugs on the headlights — blocking the light, but not by much… [...]
