Quite frankly, the demand for housing that was experienced during the height of the boom clearly shows prices , as usual, responding to demand. The buyer is now protrayed as an innocent victim, a poor schnook who apparently has no way to tell whether he's being fleeced. <BR/>The problem here is that the real estate market is, without doubt, the most efficient market in our country. The reason is because both the buyer and seller are represented by pros. Where else does the buyer have a professional working for him<BR/>as he makes a buying decision? Answer : nowhere that I know of. <BR/>Those who portray appraisers as all powerfull just don't understand the real estate market. Appraisers are not setting prices, they are trying to determine what those prices are. <BR/>Why does one think they depend so much on comps and recent closings to make their appraisals? Market prices (where monopolies are not present, in other words a free market) reflect two things : supply<BR/>and demand. They have for the last two thousand years and will for the next two thousand years. You can question whether the demand should or should not have been there (housing speculators) but you cannot intelligently reject it as the cause of the prices.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-1142979874765702642006-03-21T22:24:00.000+00:002006-03-21T22:24:00.000+00:00yeah, 60 Minutes did such an awesome job with the ...yeah, 60 Minutes did such an awesome job with the Bush/National Guard story they cooked up a couple of years ago that Dan Rather "retired" due to the backlash...I don't trust or watch any mainstream media outlet....what a bunch of preening ex-realtors.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-1142978892769082712006-03-21T22:08:00.000+00:002006-03-21T22:08:00.000+00:00"60 Minutes" is about the only major news program ..."60 Minutes" is about the only major news program we've got left that can deal with the truth. Both Nightline and PBS' NOW could have dealt with it last year but are now so watered down they are worthless. Both have cxhanged in every concievable way except for their names.<BR/><BR/>It was distressing to watch those last 2 go under this past year.<BR/><BR/>So, "60 Minutes", this is your job.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-1142973117072663642006-03-21T20:31:00.000+00:002006-03-21T20:31:00.000+00:00Good post Keith.
