Hanging the discredited paid shills of the corrupt National Association of realtors with their own words

"Price growth during the boom was clearly unsustainable. This is the payback"

- Lawrence Yun, discredited NAR Chief Economist, December 2007

"There is no national price bubble. Never has been; never will be"

- David Lereah, discredited NAR Chief Economist, September 2004


(And any reporter who quotes these professional liars without mocking them should also be seen as discredited, corrupt or incompetent)

RE: NAR BULSH!T:

There is no real estate bubble.

Real estate prices can only go up and up -- forever.

Why save money when you can retire on your house?

If you don't buy now, you will be priced out of the market forever.

Your home equity is free money. Refinance now and take advantage it.

Yes, your negative amortization loan will adjust in two years, but just before the adjustment, you can refinance, take out cash and lower your payment.

Use the equity in your house as leverage into another investment property. And another and another.

If you can't sell your house or condo, you can always rent it out.

Suzanne researched this: "This listing is special, John. You guys can do this!"

Lereah was right. There is no national housing bubble. It was just 95% of the country. North Dakota is still affordable.

North Dakota is 5% of the country?!?

I like the direction you're taking with this one: get on the case of the lazy MSM.

By now, the corruption and incompetence of the NAR economists/public relations people is well established. We know the NAR isn't going to change, they have no incentive to change while they are still quoted verbatim by MSM journalists.

We have humiliated Lereah and Yun enough and it will do very little good.

We need to humiliate MSM journalists so that they actually feel ashamed of quoting the known falsehoods of the NAR.

As I've said before, the NAR is just doing what it does - we don't really expect the truth from used car salesment either. But a free and independent press is a cornerstone of our whole system. If the press is direlect in their duties then the whole system is in peril - that's how we get mass manias like the one we're in right now.

I went on Zillow today and for homes shown as "For Sale" in California, I used the sites's Q&A link to ask individual homeowners if they would consider half of their asking price. It's tremendously fun and I recommend this to all HP'ers.

Anyone heard anything from Kendra "bubbles are for bathtubs" Todd lately?
I bet she's back to whoring herself around Palm Beach looking for the next sugga daddy/sucker to buy a house from her.

Sames as the beginning of the Great Depression.

Economists said the economy was at a "permanent plateau" and that prosperity was also permanent...

Havent they learned that nothing is permanent?

Chilling, just scary I tell ya.

All of it soooo true VL!

Everyone should have known better.

Renting is just throwing your money away!

Anyone remember TV Nation? North Dakota is the least visited state.

They didn't realize that the market was headed over the edge of that very high plateau just like Wiley E Coyote.

You forgot the battle call that starts the scramble: "Real estate in this region is grossly underpriced".

Frank R said...

What makes me laugh is the title of "economist."

HA?

Marketing talking-heads posing as economists. That's laughable. It's akin to someone with a phony mail-order degree calling himself "doctor."

These people want it both ways. They justify their 6% commission by claiming to be experts in the local market, looking out for their clients best interest. But when someone pays too much for a house they couldn't afford in the first place, they throw up their hands and claim its not their fault. Its the bank's fault for approving the loan, or the client's fault cuz they really wanted the home. Make up your minds. You're either glorified lockbox openers who deserve to be paid $8 an hour (at most) for your time, or your a real estate professional. If its the latter, the next time a couple making 30 grand a year comes to you and wants to buy, act in their best interest and tell them they can't afford it, then send them on their way.
