Lehigh valley real estate

So sorry- but these areas have remained somewhat "stable" according to your chief economist Robert Shiller's index.

These areas have barley seen a decrease or maybe a slight decrease rather then their "bubble bursting" as you mentioned. Check it out!!!

So I guess this diserves another patrick.net reference to try and draw attention away from the fact that you have no personal experience or knowledge about this topic.


You are a spoon fed your ideas from the media.

You prove my point that you are a rookie realtor without much general knowledge. Progaganda is when realtors put signs on route 78 claiming, "Prices of real estate double every ten years".

Or feel free to come out of your mother's basement and tell us about your experience since you seem to be a big on the idea of experience....

You better re-read your own posting. It clearly shows BUBBLE PRICES!! Here read this chart and then look at the one you posted, IT SHOWS THE SAME DATA!!!! It show's prices are bubblicious over the past 6-10 years compared to the previous 115 years. Maybe you should better realtor tactics.

Why a 50'% housing drop is good for our country

We should all root for housing to fall 50%, so we can use our nation's capital for research, development, production, investment, education, instead of consumption of homes.
It's a shame that this diversion of money to housing is reducing our nation's productivity and innovation.
Instead of putting money into developing solar energy, better education, reforming social security and health care, newer drugs, non-polluting transportation, next century of electronics, we are spending it on consuming housing (benefitting the construction industry only) and buying goods from China (benefitting the manufacturer in another country).
Further, we are putting ever increasing amounts of our slowly falling real wages into consumer durables. At the present pace, we would be spending 60% of our income on housing.
Money spent on housing, while a boom to the construction industry, doesn't help this country advance in any sector. Hell, we can't even export the darn things!
