These aren’t my …
These aren’t my mistakes. I’m for a 3rd party – Green Party.
2001-2007 was the first time in decades that one party(Republican) had both the majority in Congress and the presidency. We were able to find out once and for all what the Repubs could do without Dems in the way.
We found out.
I’m in the mortgage busness. I saw this comming in 2003. I was in CA and there was an obvious bubble. But no one even wanted to acknowlege it.
January 20th, 2010 at 7:38 am
The bubble was …
The bubble was created with Democrats and the Democratic Congress. Stop blaming the conservatives for your mistakes. Think about who is the majority in congress>? Democrats! Liberals can’t say their wrong, sad!

I don’t follow.
1. overpopulation’s everywhere.
2. The bubble(and this superficial economy) is caused by Banks, wall street, and the Republican majority giving the green light to them….in exchange for some of the money they siphon from the American people.
3. People are losing their homes everywhere.

Here in the Phoenix …
Here in the Phoenix area, real estate sales have had a sudden surge, granted prices have fallen sharply in the last few weeks. Listingsupply com indicates that MLS listings in the major US markets are finally starting to fall, which should mean price stability ahead. Let’s hope!
January 20th, 2010 at 7:38 am
So, what’s that …
There are several inaccuracies here but none which devalue the general point of the video – illogical use of real estate solely as a speculative tool which always appreciates in value.
So, what’s that appreciation on a cardboard box in a Hooverville
There are many areas outside of these depressed markets which are pretty stable because they did not participate in the bubble. Most Bubbleville residents’ world tends to revolve around themselves.

Good presentation. …
Good presentation. But one clarification: Piet Eichholtz, a professor of real-estate finance at Maastricht University in the Netherlands, studied 450 years of price history on the Herengracht, or Gentlemen’s Canal. For my own forecast of prices in the UK, search “UK Property” on YouTube. You will see that Builder share prices are a good leading indicator.

Pretty good stuff …
Pretty good stuff but like most economists and commentators he fails to mention that the housing bubble is really a land price bubble not a house bubble. Houses/improvements to land do not appreciate but land value does. This is due to the fact that the improvements can be increased indefinitely while the supply of land is relatively fixed. When “housing” prices fall it is speculative land prices that fall. Modern economists refuse to treat land separately from capital. Why is that?
