It was all paper wealth and tons of fiber optics cables being laid down and never used. It was billions worth of computers and servers being bought by dotbomb companies that never made a dime. They wer eliving on borrowed time just like these housing specualtors. Those were dotcom speculators. Get it through that thick stupid skull. AMZN stock was never really worth $500/shr and fuzzysocks.com was not worth more than Microsoft and IBM combined. If you were too stupid to sell out of your stock and mutual fund positions back then, it's your fault. If someone was too stupid to dump their flips last year, then too bad for them. You want to invest but you don't want to take any of the risks associated. When your investments go up then you're a genius. When it goes down then it's somebody else's fault. Typical stupid left-wing white trash.<BR/><BR/>It was all paper wealth just like today, you dimwitted leftard pipesmockersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-1145995075734895602006-04-25T20:57:00.000+01:002006-04-25T20:57:00.000+01:00April and May are supposedly some of the stronger ...April and May are supposedly some of the stronger months of the year for housing since people are coming out of their winter slumber and want to spend $$.<BR/><BR/>I predicted YOY price growth would be negative by June so we shall see....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-1145990664211258792006-04-25T19:44:00.000+01:002006-04-25T19:44:00.000+01:00Don't worry, looking at April's numbers since the ...Don't worry, looking at April's numbers since the month is over essentially, the price of housing has "officially" fallen.

Last year in march, median price was 203k this year it was 218k. <BR/><BR/>Last year April's median price was 214k. So there was a 5%+ gain from march to april last year. <BR/><BR/>We will see the same gain next month, though probably less than 5%. Next month the NAR will be happy to tell us that housing prices are up a strong 3% over the previous month, but they will ignore the fact that the increase in housing prices slowed again from 7.4% in the march YOY period to 4% in the april YOY period. <BR/><BR/>May will be a harder comparison. We will see flat to negative year over year comparisons on the national level by june or july.<BR/><BR/>Keith: you can muddle with this part of the report's URL: REL0603EHS.pdf to get older months' data - try 0511.
