Liars anonymous: "Hello, My Name is David Lereah" - "Hello, David!"


Here's the laughable NAR preso from their annual confab. Oh, man, I wish I was there to heckle. So many slides have so much misleading spin, it's worse than any politician or Cubs manager.

Here's a few select tidbits. Download the entire preso, and also thanks to David at BubbleMeter for the images

Slide 1: "The Road to Recovery" - even the preso title is hilarious! We're on the highway to devastation - recovery lane is miles and miles away

Slide 5: Calling the bottom on new home sales. How stupid does he think we are? A little blip as panicked builders unload at any price is not a bottom, it's a blip. This chart will go down and down and down and down for years and years to come, as builders stop building new dead inventory.

Slide 16: "Very Cold" markets: California, Southern Florida, Arizona, Nevada, DC Region

Slide 21: "Large Corrections" - Arizona, Nevada, South Florida, Las Vegas

Slide 42: Blaming the media for the end of the ponzi scheme: "Bubbles Will Burst. Balloons Will Pop. Prices Will Fall 30% to 40%. Housing Downturn Will Send Economy into Recession"

Slide 47: Still cheerleading: "Wake up and smell the equity! The national median home price has increased 88 percent over the last 10 years!"

Slide 71: Ending with the bizarre and laughable Greenspan quote “Most of the negatives in housing are probably behind us"

nice to see a realtor posting as anon

I'll stay on realtors' (and the REIC's) cases until the death of that profession. They serve no useful purpose in society anymore. They're dishonest cockroaches, bloodsuckers, liars and thieves. Even though yes, some of them are likely decent people. Their profession however is now a joke.

Don't like it? Don't read HP. The NAR has a wonderful website full of great information too.

Maybe its time for David Lereah to write a book about O.J.

It's stuff like this that makes me wish that Borat & his fat buddy had done their naked tear-ass through this convention instead of the mortgage one.

I am a lawyer and I even think realtors are cockroaches.

David Lereah's attorney is probably cataloging all of Keith's rabid rants. When he files that lawsuit for 5000 counts of libel, it will be a ballbuster!

The slide with the media person looks more like a realtor that has just been told that the deal what was going to cover his new Hummer lease payments and the Aspen vacation with his significent other was canceled.

Speaking of smart realtors, this is hilarious...

Heckling "DL" today would probably cause him to do a Michael Richards outburst calling any heckler a communist or wet blanket!
