Call me a pessimist, (or a Bear), but I am of the school that sees the current housing crisis/sluggish market, as part of a longer trend into some tough economic times, perhaps the worst of my (44 year) lifetime. I know that is not good news, but I think it is realistic...and better to be prepared than caught by surprise!
Moreover, as a Realtor, I believe my job is to understand, accept and work within the context of the economic REALITY my clients ( both buyers and sellers ) are living through. I cannot help them buy and sell property if I am living on Planet High Hopes while they are living in Virginia!
Here is a great article Fortune just posted about the next bubble expected to burst: the consumer credit crunch.
Pretty as I am, they don't pay me to stick my head in the sand and wave my tail feathers around!
