Are some people on here glad that prices are down so that they can now afford a house on there crap wages and crap jobs . Sit there whising people bad luck because they can do no better for themselfs how sad. The same people go on how bad schools are roads ect then do not like paying taxes to make things right. Home prices will go up and dpwn i will tell you all to look at the values ten years ago and not one house as gone down in value. It is a long term thing. So some people should stop being happy at people who did what they thought was right for them and now face a very hard time.

http://xroads.virginia.edu/~hyper/Allen/ch11.html This is how Florida is supposed to be. Bubble it up, suck in the fools, drain them and run. We need a crash, badly to restore balance to a crazy state.

I don't think so. People can take as much risk as they want, but when it spills over into my quality of life, I owe nobody an apology. Like I said before, I wish none of this had happened and everything had expanded naturally. But it didn't work out that way.

*I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THE CRASH*

I'm not worried about it. I paid $79,000 12 years ago and can sell it for alot more than I have in it. Houses around my area are still selling for close to the asking price. A house 3 houses away just closed on the 20th for $3000 more than the asking price. The asking price was $195,000 and it was appraised for another $25,000 more. It was on the market for 65 days. To me 65 to 90 days is the way it used to be anyway.

It looks like a correction not a crash. Real estate has always been a long term investment. Do you guys think this has never happened before?

You got it, Floridian! This is a national crash but you don't see anyone whining about it on the other state pages, at least not to the extent here.

Do you guys honestly think a crash is going to help alot of people? It will hurt alot more than it will help. Plus what do you think it will do to the economy- make it better? Yea let it crash. Lets see how many people that helps.

mystree66 not being rude but if you can not afford the house you like if it comes down in price say by 50 to 75 k you can still not afford it . As the up keep taxes insurance will kill you . fl is not cheap anymore . People playing the game on house prices will always think there is a better deal .
