Timing is everything. Our eCONomy is so overleveraged now RE will be a horrible investment for 20-30 years. A house is just a roof over your head when the bubble daze are gone. |

Now get in line and shut up, comrade. Seriously, though, it is more reactionary bullshit. In four years when interest rates spike above 10 percent, we'll see what the media says. Fuck the corporate whores. |

Truth is that home ownership has been shoved down our throats as the mark of a successful citizen, while in reality it makes you a target ripe for manipulation. As long as you own a home you are forced to comply with the system or risk losing it all. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1078071 ![]() 08/24/2010 01:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Well, the experts are weighing in again. And, once again, they agree: Housing is a lousy investment. And it always will be. Quoting: Stall Street 961340At least that's what they're telling the New York Times: “There is no iron law that real estate must appreciate,” said Stan Humphries, chief economist for the real estate site Zillow. “All those theories advanced during the boom about why housing is special — that more people are choosing to spend more on housing, that more people are moving to the coasts, that we were running out of usable land — didn’t hold up.” Instead, Mr. Humphries and other economists say, housing values will only keep up with inflation. A home will return the money an owner puts in each month, but will not multiply the investment. But wait. Just a few years ago, weren't the experts saying that housing was always a great investment? That house prices would always go up? Yes, they were ... 50% Rule Applied Read more here: [link to finance.yahoo.com] It was called the jew setup. |

Born in the USA User ID: 1068336 ![]() 08/24/2010 01:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Our home has depreciated in value over 40,000 in the last 5 years. Sucks...we didn't buy it over-leveraged....we just think of it as a roof over our heads. By the time we are ready to sell it will probably lose more value. Of course that is if we can find anyone to buy it...eventually. Home sales are really bad in our area. Basically the buyers just steal them. |
