Housing prices will crash just like after the dot com fiasco. That's what we do. Inflate and destroy. The slicks will be around to sell houses to people who can't afford them and they will default so the government will bail them out and start the cycle all over again. Got caught up in one myself. But, I did learn that there will be opportunities to buy on the cheap and move on up the ladder. Whatever that means. As Will Rogers said, "history may not repeat itself, but it sure rhymes a lot". Just sayin'

"Refinancing is history. So is, we predict, the bull market in house prices.

Stay tuned..."

Perhaps true, but the taxes on those over valued homes will stay elevated. And our fixed incomes, which never went up enough to compensate for them, hasn't. Us "senior" citizens, still thinking in terms of a dollar with some value, get shocked on a regular basis. At the gas pumps, the grocery stores, the hardware store and our city services statements.

We see how it's going but not how our turtle shells will protect or provide for us. And the kids keep screaming for "more!"
