HousingPANIC Las Vegas Housing Crash Quote of the Day

"‘What are we doing about it?’ Toll asked. ‘We are out there with the rest of the builders in Vegas praying. There’s not much you can do."

-Bob Toll, August 2007, no longer "dancing on the bottom", but crashing right through the floor now

I'm praying that you all come under federal indictment for rigging the real estate industry. I thought Trusts and conspiracy for price fixing was illegal in this country. Included in the round-up by the FBI should be: Realtors, Appraisers, Brokers, Managers who approved bad loans knowing that citizens did not qualify so that they could obtain the commission fees, etc. Yes, Mr. Builder, you made the McMansion now look at it.

For those of you who have been waiting to buy, now would be a good time!! Prices are lower, interest rates are still low and there is lots of inventory from which to choose. Many Sellers, as well as new home builders, are making it very attractive.

You've heard of falling knives ... well any incentives they have to offer are nothing but daggers.

House prices are not inline with salaries, and until that happens, demand will remain flat.

"A little regulation wouldn't be a bad thing," he said.

The problem as he well knows is that there is very likely to be a LOT of regulation coming down the pike. In our "knee jerk" gov't we haven't even seen a twitch yet....
