Realtor troll posts to HP. Must be getting mad, lonely and desperate right about now...


This same troll posted the historical median prices from LA to another post - kind of like the one we used to get months ago with the US median prices - with the inference that prices never go down, that real estate only goes up and up and up and up and up

Sorry Richard (nice photo/drawing by the way - ha!), past performance does not dictate future returns. But that's not on the GED test, so I'd understand if that's news to you...

Here's the troll's HP letter:

Hello All,

Let me guess, those of you who are putting off buying a home, are the same people who made the same conclusion three years ago.

I bet, three years from now with rates hovering above 7.5%, you'll have something else to complain about.

Congrats! It's never a bad time to buy real estate. Life doesn't wait for you. If you truly want to understand the local market, talk with an real estate agent or better yet, call the local Board of Realtors who will provide you hard evidence.

Sincerely,Richard Johnston, REMAX
Los Angeles Real Estate Agent

Condo Prices Fall Nationally

real estate downturn has hit the condo market -- though it's not exactly a blood bath, at least not yet. According to figures compiled by the National Association of Realtors, condominium prices in metropolitan areas fell 0.3% in the second quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. According to the trade group, the national median existing condo price was $225,800 in the second quarter. Condo markets suffering the most include the MSA of Palm Bay-Melbourne-Titusville, Fla. (down 11.8%), and Toledo, Ohio (down 9.7%). NAR also reported that median prices in the single-family market rose 3.7% in the second quarter. "With more sellers competing for the pool of buyers, the pressure on home prices has evaporated in most metro areas," said NAR chief economist David Lereah. He described the price slowdown and correction as a "soft landing in the

From California - realtor calls for 20% price cuts if you want to sell:

Throughout the state and the nation, the numbers are similar. However, Santa Clarita's real estate agents see nothing to fear.

"It's very simple," said Celia Gallardo, owner of Gold Feather Realty in Newhall. "It's now a buyer's market."

Gallardo described the current market as one that is more normal - a "realistic slowing down of the economy to meet the demands."

However, converting to a buyer's market forces sellers to reduce prices, she said.

"People need to realize that they are not going to get the prices they got last year," she said. "They need to come down by 20 percent."

how does he know 7.5% in three years, what an ass... it is possible that rates will go lower along with demand and prices.

Rates may even be higher than 7.5 and prices have to fall to compensate.

What a cheerleader he is! He must be young to not have gone through a RE downturn, or not paying attention to one!

You don't need a GED to become a realtor. There are really no requirements other than the basic test. It's harder to pass the drivers license test in most states...

MY Fear??! . . .the Fed will panice and go back to 1% interest rates. . .

Then I guess I would have to get off my butt and buy some overpriced condo here in SD. I think we should be nice to all Realtors these days, and help them look for gainful employment.
