NBC Nightly News - another "the bubble has burst" report to freak out the general population

More msm coverage of the bubble bursting... watch the commercial but then it goes right into the video

Once people (and speculators) realized that there was no future appreciation, sales dried up and listings exploded. Why pay $5000 a month when you could rent the same house for $1500 a month if there'd be no appreciation (i.e. windfall)?

So, now we fall all the way back to where rents = monthly ownership costs.

That darn PE ratio - gets the bubble every time...

why oh why does the main stream media continue to run to the NAR and realtors for their "word from the street"

That'd be like the MSM running to the corrupt internet analysts during the .com meltdown

oh, wait, that's exactly what they did

oops
