Heard any good realtor jokes?

Go ahead HP'ers, the substitute teacher is in the room, let 'er rip

Make fun of 'em, belittle 'em, jeer them, mock them, get it all out of your system

Is there any profession in America more discredited and vilified today than "realtor"?

"I have to have a raise in my commission," the realtor said to his manager. "There are three other companies after me."

"Is that so?" asked the manager. "What other companies are after you?"

"The electric company, the telephone company, and the gas company."

Why aren't real estate clerks embracing the crash (vs. calling bottom and saying prices are going up)?

Since ramen-eating real estate clerks can only start making money again if homes start selling again, doesn't that mean that instead of denying the bubble and trolling housing panic with disinformation and spin, shouldn't they instead be out there SHOUTING that asking prices are WAY TOO HIGH, that homedebtors are delusional, and that if anyone wants to sell a home in this environment they'll need to DRASTICALLY cut their asking price?

In other words, are real estate clerks and the NAR even dumber than even we thought possible (it's a great time to buy and sell a home!)?

HousingPANIC's message for the real estate clerks of America - SHOUT FROM THE ROOFTOP TO ANYONE WHO'LL LISTEN THAT HOMES ARE INSANELY OVERPRICED.

Unless homedebtors hear that and hear it loud, you'll keep eating ramen. It is your job to make sure homedebtors panic at this stage, and buyers think they can get firesale prices. The days of "buy now or be priced out forever" are over. You fools!

Now get out there and get 'er done! Even though nobody respects or trusts you anymore, at least get your message right. Geeze.

Home prices should spring back in coming months, the National Association of Realtors said Thursday, after it reported that prices slid in 73 metro areas in the final months of the year.

Home sales seemed to have hit bottom already in many areas: 71 metropolitan areas had price gains, and 14 of them posted double-digit year-to-year increases.But it's unclear how far the improvement will go or how long it will last.

"At least the bottom appears to have already occurred," says Lawrence Yun, a senior economist at NAR.
