Buy now before you get priced out of the market forever.
They're not making any more land, you know.
Real estate prices never go down.
Our area is special. Our [local industry/economic concern] causes the prices to be so high. We're immune to price drops.
I know a mortgage broker who can get you a low rate, no money down loan in a day or two.
In case somebody missed or forgot it:
Phoenix and it surrounding metro area is finding its
own level.
Basically, a repository of mediocre poorly educated
bottom-feeders seeking cheap banal living and easy
money.This souless mix of carpet-bagging transients,
budget seniors,tatooed misfits, real estate grifters,
toothless white trash
tweakers, minimum wage job seekers and pseudo
Scottsdale millionaires has created a major population
center that masquarades as a major metropolis but is
really one big cow town.
A bleak barren landscape with terrible weather,traffic
congestion, bad air, stuffed with ugly stucco houses
and big box retailers peddling Chinese crap, corporate
food, and a dumbed down semi-literate citizenry,
Phoenix metro epitomizes the lowest commom denominator
of American cities.
If somehow, by either plan or accident, you're living
in metro Phoenix, you rank on the bottom rungs of the
intelligence charts. The only reason to be here,
(temporarily), is if you're making a decent income
(absolute min. 200k per yr). Anything less is not
worth it, as your health, mental well being and
personal esteem will deeply suffer by living in this
genetic cesspool of half-breeds.

A pensioner aged 102 has been granted a 25-year mortgage despite the fact he would have to live until 127 to pay the loan back.
The property investor from East Sussex has taken out an interest-only £200,000 mortgage and hopes to meet the £958 monthly repayments with income from rent as he joins a growing army of retired people hoping to cash in on buy-to-let schemes

Forecast: Housing, Mortgage Troubles Will Hurt Calif. Economy
KNBC-TV
7:19 a.m. PDT April 2, 2007
LOS ANGELES - California's economy will slow this year because of a "double whammy" of a stagnant housing market and mortgage foreclosures, UCLA economists predicted Monday. The housing market in California will be stagnant for some time because of a surge in mortgage defaults and an "implosion" of the subprime mortgage market, according to the latest UCLA Anderson Forecast. "We are still forecasting a significant slowing of the California economy in 2007, as the double whammy from construction and mortgage finance creates drag on the rest of the economy," economist Ryan Ratcliff wrote in the forecast. The largest increase in mortgage defaults was seen in the East Bay and Sacramento areas and Bakersfield, Ventura and Riverside counties. According to the forecast, counties where new houses are a big part of the market are most likely to have the biggest increase in defaults. Economists attribute that trend to the fact that first-time homebuyers are moving into more affordable areas, and builders in those areas have placed an emphasis on moving inventory quickly, thus stretching lending standards to close a deal. In 2006, the construction market lost 2,700 jobs. Those losses are expected to continue this year. "We expect to see job growth in California slow to below 1 percent through the middle of 2008, with growth in real personal income and real taxable sales slowing to the low 2 percent through this period," according to Ratcliff. In many ways, the national economy is a "mirror image" to 2000, according to the forecast. Seven years ago, the corporate sector was overextended in the aftermath of the dot-com boom, while consumer and housing credit were in good shape. Now, the housing credit is in trouble while the corporate sector has a healthy cash flow. "We are becoming increasingly nervous about the economic outlook as the period of below trend growth grinds on," economist David Shulman wrote in the forecast. "Put bluntly, the credit crunch in the subprime mortgage market will likely trigger a second leg down in the housing market in terms of output and prices." Economists are forecasting real gross domestic product growth to be 2.1 percent, 1.7 percent and 2.5 percent in the first, second and third quarters, respectively, in the coming fiscal year.

Looks like over a year's worth of inventory and growing!
I recommend all buyers out there forget about buying in bubbly markets for at least 8 years.
I know this sucks. But you have to change your thinking about buying a home being the American dream. It will be again someday, right now - just rent and smile.

Double-Bottom Bases Can Mirror Market
Monday April 2, 7:00 pm ET
Nancy Gondo
The pickings tend to be quite slim during a rocky or declining market. But such periods usually give leading stocks a chance to digest their gains and set up in new bases.
A market pullback offers a good opportunity to freshen up your watch list. Track the market to see which leaders are forming sound bases. That way you'll be ready to jump in when the market follows through and stocks start breaking out.
Ok so today I had 30 more cases of MREs delivered.
I live in a city around Phoenix.
The driver saw a "for sale by owner" sign in my garage (used it to sell second home a few years back)...he says:
"what happened to the market?"
I said yeah - seems quite
He said, "I am taking it up the ass, $2100 mortgage, F'ing broker lied to me...said I could refi in a year or two...I can't do shit...can't sell...can't refi...I am screwed"
I said "really?"
Then he made this bend over gesture with associated hand movement and said..."no vaseline".
Little does he know ...he will be dead in under 5 years from starvation.
Is it just me or where are the buyers? Phoenix is a shit box by any standard.
I moved out of there a month ago, specifically Scottsdale, where people are VERY desperate to sell and cannot. That town seems to be nothing but option-arm loans that are all converting this year. You see expensive cars that are brand new with "for sale" signs in the windows. It's bad, but damn hilarious for me, since all of those option-arm phonies are also the biggest jerk snobs I've ever met in my life.

There are more graphs at:
http://bubbletrackinggraphs.blogspot.com/
Besides the bubble blog referenced above, what is the source of these graphs anyway? There are several graphs of highly populated areas that show zero sales in March. I just don't believe that.
There's got to be ONE PERSON that bought a house in all of LA, Orange County, Las Vegas, etc.
The graphs were posted on 3/31, and I'm thinking they were posted before March sales data was released.
Frank should love this one!
Just pulled up a list of the highest priced houses in the valley, and there was one in Scottsdale that was listed for $ 24,950,000 633 days ago. Reduced to $ 19,990,000 a while back, and just sold for $10,000,000.
Don't know the details, but lopping $ 15 Million off the price of ANY house can't be a good thing.
If you extrapolate that to a listing at $ 249,500 (about the median) then the house will finally sell for about $ 100,000.
Who knows. It could happen.
Little does he know ...he will be dead in under 5 years from starvation.
Unfortunately Richard, even those who are preparing for the end will not have much luck. Short of having a hidden bunker that no one knows about, or fleeing to northern Canada, you're pretty much in the same boat as everyone else. And trust me - you wont be eating your MREs while others are just hungrily looking through your windows.
If you do the math - how far can a person travel in a day? On average I walk about 3 miles an hour, so after 8 hours of walking I could get 24 miles. Let's assume 20 Miles per day.
That means if the average walker is able to find water, they can travel 400 miles in 20 days.
Can you imagine what would happen if 15 million New Yorkers decided to start walking? They would out number the surrounding farmers 100 to 1. And they will probably be armed - so if they find any food, it's theirs.
And New York is not the only big city in the US. When all these people leave the city, they'll eat anything in sight, and kill off anyone who resists.
Nothing new - the same thing happened in northern Germany during Roman times. After a collapse of the food stocks, several hundred villagers picked up stakes and started walking to find food. A couple of years later their numbers swelled to over a million and they sacked Rome.
IB
There's never been a better time to catch a hot knife
"villagers picked up stakes and started walking"
Well, I have a bicycle - I'll pass them all! Bwah-hah-hah!
I can't imagine food riots, sacking cities, or roaming hordes of evil new yorkers raping and pillaging. Agriculture and food production are so efficient in this country and the world that we will always be able to feed ourselves. Hell, the government still pays farmers not to grow crops.
What will happen is that millions will lose jobs and be on unemployment and food stamps and welfare. Tens of millions will lose their homes to foreclosure - but thats not the end of the world. These same homes will eventually be put back on market at greatly reduced prices, or as rentals. People will have places to live, and most will still find jobs, albeit at lower wages.
Without the artificial debt induced consumption frenzy, living standards will go down a bit, life expectancy may shorten a bit, but thats OK. We will revert back to consuming what we produce in an environment without asset speculation. It strikes me as most unnatural to have realtors driving around in leased S-class Mercedes, while school teachers have to work two jobs to buy a crappy house within a one hour commute of their school. I do not beieve this will continue for much longer.
And how does a shithole like Phoenix even exist? My guess is that there will be a huge migration away from places that have no real industry or purpose or that focus solely on domestic consumption, to those that do, especially those that successfully produce goods or services for the international market and those involved in energy, and food production.

Anonypuss, you are crazy. Most Americans couldn't walk two miles per week. It will be road warriors, with this bunch? If they empty the prisons I could see it, but your average US citizen couldn't make it a week in the outdoors. Thanks for the laugh.
