And anyone who listened to a realtor on commission got slaughtered.
Any questions?
Home prices see record plunge
Prices of U.S. single-family homes plunged a record 16.6 percent in August from a year earlier and plummeted more than 30 percent in Las Vegas and Phoenix, Standard & Poor's said on Tuesday.
Home prices in 20 major metropolitan areas fell 1.0 percent in August from July, according to the Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller Home Price Indices.
The composite index of 10 metropolitan areas declined 1.1 percent in August from July for a 17.7 percent year-over-year drop, also a record, S&P said in a statement.
"The downturn in residential real estate prices continued, with very few bright spots in the data," David M. Blitzer, Chairman of the Index Committee at Standard & Poor's, said in the statement.
A huge supply of unsold homes, tighter lending standards and record foreclosures have pushed down home prices, deflating a bubble from the early part of this decade.
For the fifth straight month, prices fell in every region on an annual basis, he said.

Looks like Mom and the kids are returning from the funeral service for Dad who died from heart attack at 49 years old. He was working 24 hours a day/7 days a week and still going negative with three extra mouths to feed, clothe and shelter.
Mom is on the way to cash the insurance checks. Mom will soon be going to surgeon for a tune up so she can stay relevant in the Friday Night MILF market. After all, we all have NEEDS...
AND, Suzanne researched it.. and will be new drinking and whoring buddy... Probably live in Scottsdale or Orange County, CA
We CAN Do It. This listing is special...
Ebont tits and Joan Rivers face to follow.
America is DEAD.
DIE
Man you don't let up on Greg Swanndive!
Nice!

Yes, my wife and I lost 7 years worth of savings. We will never use a Realtor and StockBroker again. As a matter of fact, we will never believe a Sales Person again, and we have learned to say FU to these scum bags.

My husband asked if I was concerned by the latest Case Shiller figures.
I said no. When you've got a dead body on your hands, it's no longer alarming to find out it had cancer.
When is "Diane" going to do the perp walk?
Always a good time to buy!
I was in PHX last week for a small trip & stopped at an Open for the hell of it.
They wanted 430K for a 20 year old Patio home (2000 sq ft) that backed right up to 51 HWY
CRAZZY!!
NOW is a GREAT time to BUY...
Your RealWhore.
2010/2011 is the right time.
and due to the non calculation of house price inflation as inflation over the last 15 years and the rise in interest rates that would have been required to stabilize prices and hense inflation they are even more irrationaly priced even down, still
Nice job Keith. Never let up on that douche Greg Swann until he is decomposing somewhere.
Now is a great time to generate a commission.
Qweefie,
So what dude? Say I bought a house for $500K. It is now worth $300K. But, my mortgage will be written down to $270K by The Glorious Dear Leader O'BAMA. So that house could fall to $50K and it wouldn't mean jack, since my new mortgage would then be $40K.
Only people that lose - once again - are HPers who lived in 1 bed shitholes and driving 20 year old Hondas, while everyone lived it up.
Well, today was a first. I went to a storage facility auction this morning. 16 units/contents being auctioned due to nonpayment. There's always a little anticipation when the door's open... Three of the units were clearly being lived in. Beds, lamps, tables, chairs, ashtrays, beer cans.
The future is here...people living in storage units.
As so many have known all along, these declines are really just getting started.
Here in HB Ca., more and more foreclosures, bank repo's as well as cars, boats and motorbikes on the road with forsale signs - might as well haul alot of this off to the junk yard, there will be no buyers.
gotta love this, from cnbc:
"Some states have actually frozen foreclosures, but this offers only temporary respite, as Massachusetts recently found out. After imposing a 90-day notification period before foreclosures can be initiated, a quiet summer was followed by foreclosures shooting up 465 percent in September."

WOW!!
While looking at a house, my brother asked the real
Estate agent which direction was north because, he explained, he didn't want the sun waking him up every morning. She asked, 'Does
the sun rise in the north?' When my brother explained that the sun rises in the East, and has for sometime, she shook her head and said, 'Oh I don't keep up with all that stuff.'
"Mom will soon be going to surgeon for a tune up so she can stay relevant in the Friday Night MILF market."

WTF is MILF?
Anyone..?

i am going to assume that it was a cloudy day.... otherwise I would laugh at your brother for even bothering to ask.
your brother should also go to a store that sell window blinds. they make some really goods nowadays.

Have you been under a rock the past 10 years?
Stock Market soars on the news.
Man you don't let up on Greg Swanndive!

I wonder in his secret chamber of his heart whether he knows he was wwrong all along?
btw, are we still flying monkeys and brown shirts? I might fly over and leave a comment or two on his blog
In Ralph Waldo Emerson's famous essay, Compensation, the "Quintessential American" says that the universe, and by extension, nature, science, and especially human nature, is unwilling to accept imbalance.
"Things refuse to be mismanaged for long," he says. Eventually, everything achieves a natural balance.
This is true in today's world markets and economies, too. Stock markets, currencies, inflation, gold… none of these go up or down forever. Sooner or later, they reverse and go in the opposite direction.

Die realtor scum
This can't be. Because, like, bubbles are for bathtubs. Kendra Todd told me that and she not only won the Apprentice but was also a successful real estate investor. Yeah, it's true.
Where's that old REIC bijon frise Nicolas Retsinas to tell us we're chicken littles too? John Harvard would be shitting in his grave if he know who was now representing his institution.
I just thought, with your attention to Swan-dive, that you're kinda neglecting a couple of our other favourite bitches.

Actually, the past is back. My grandfather rented his 1-car garage to a guy during the Depression. His neighbor was greedy and rented his basement, his living room, his dining room, AND his garage.
There is nothing new under the sun.
People with houses always win.
Keith, Stop it. I'm cracking up. You made milk come out my nose!
Qweefie,

I certainly hope you realize you're a major douchebag. Unlike you I don't have to keep up appearances in front of my friends so I don't mind renting a huge 2 br apartment and riding the bus and train to work every morning.
I don't feel a huge loss or a missed opportunity for not owing a single dollar on a house that I have to maintain.
THEY CAN'T PRINT MORE STOCK OR MONEY!!!!
hahahaha, of course they can you tool!
How about an update, a 'Where are they Now' piece on Connie "Joan Rivers" De Groot, Caveman Adkins and Loser Lereah and Useless Yun.
Now that group picture is one of failure, disgrace and doom.
REIC = DEAD
DIE U PIG
too funny.
i love the realtor line:
"this is the best market ever!"
then in a hushed voice " in terms of choice"
The October Grim Reaper is leaving da building and has finished swathing people's wealth, time to buy stocks
