Real Estate is in great shape. The Market is in great Shape. (sales)

Of course I am just kidding. I believe someone on this board posted that if the market broke through 7000 we were in big trouble. Well I am here to tell you a lot of us are in big trouble.
If you honestly believe housing is going up from this point, I have a bridge I can sell you. What exactly would make anyone think that houses would go up or even stay flat from here on out?

Lets see could it be???

The stock market situation?
The unemployment situation?
The putrid home sales numbers?
The fact that most people lost half their net worth in the market?
The fact that the bubble pushed houses way above what most people could afford?
The fact that lenders are tightening credit therefore taking tons of potential homebuyers out of the market?
What exactly is the reason that everything is soo great?
Please do tell.

our well-being should not be dependant on home sales, or what people think our homes should sell for

If only we still made most of our things, and did most of our own service work, then it would not matter if housing prices went up or down however far
