  1. “If values go lower nobody will be selling.”

    Fucking idiot. I don’t suppose you would then agree with the statement that “If values go higher, nobody will be buying”.

    Who are these idiots? Where do they come from? Oh, that’s right, they’re FUCKING BROKERS!

  2. For those holding out, what are you going to buy? This isn’t CA or FL with tons and tons and tons of houses always available. The better neighborhods and blocks of houses have very limited stock. If values go lower nobody will be selling. We’re already seeing this. I’m asking a genuine question. I’m curious if most of those who are holding out are looking for a condo or coop and hoping those prices drop or something. People I know who want a house are actively out there looking and are willing to buy.

  3. Okay, listen up you lobototards! You want to tear me a new one for holding a conversation with myself? Who the fuccck are you??? Go worry about your paper worth going up in very real FLAMES, FUCKTARDS. The bubble is real. The endtimes are real. The end of the known universe is real and I will just sit in my lazy-fuckin-boy recliner and enjoy it all with a bowl of Poppycock and a pint of motherfukkin absinthe. This is gonna be GOOOOOD. It’s happening any second… can you hear it…? Can you…? Listen closely now…? Real close. No, that’s not a car alarm, ASSHAT! That’s it. That’s the end. It’s happening. Right now. Like I predicted. I did it. I was right. It happened. It’s over. Everyone’s dead. Planet combusted. Galaxy sucked into a subprime black hole. Nothingness. Infinity. Nothing left but the Motherfuckkin WHAT. Eternal Almighty Me. Me. Read it and weep.

    Shut up! That ain’t a fukkin car alarm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  4. don’t understand your argument 6:58. either you are selling now (which would be smart) and taking your gains and you are out of the market – as would any sane person in the midst of a bubble (think mark cuban). Or you are buying into the same market you are selling into…in which case, what difference does it make (so there is not a ton of incentive to go back to the market)? You can trade up from Manhattan to Brooklyn, sure, but you can do that at any price level.

    Point is that it takes the volume that easy lending creates to have a market like what we’ve seen over the last several years…I personally know several people with a lot less money than I have who were willing to take on a lot more risk. People who said their mortgage broker asked them how much they could pay a month & then “structured the mortgage around that” regardless of price. That is not going to happen anymore.

    Sure there will be people with big chunks of cash (I have a nice chunk myself), but now and in the near future, no one wants to be the last chump buying at a high. I am dying to buy, but it doesn’t make sense now and I am holding out just to see what the next year holds. As are a lot of people…it is after all a numbers game.
