NEW HOUSE SALES ARE COLLAPSING! Oh No!

[Neubarth]

NEW HOME SALES When sales have fallen to one quarter of what they used to be and are just fish flopping around like they have, you know that all those construction workers and real estate agents are out of work and do not look to being employed very soon.

This is a catastrophy.

Refute his FACTS dear. Ohh I forgot you don't do THAT.

 

[Truthmatters]

You dont get it do you?

The people on the right would say just that to anyone who was trying to warn about this economic disastor in the making.

many burried their heads and said just that to the Cold Hard Facts.

The fact remains that the economy has collapsed and millions are losing their jobs every month. I am a registered Democrat who is fed up with overt corruption in the office of the presidency. It is time for violent revolution.

You are wrong sir, the housing market has been making a strong comeback for several months, Chris and Rightwinger told me so several times.........

Real estate deleveraging probably requires a return to mid-80s prices before it bottoms

The reality is in the stats above. As mentioned, most of those construction workers do not have viable work now, and have not had that work for two years or longer. I have a Samoan Island born step brother who is a roofer. He has only about one quarter of the jobs he used to have. Thank heavens roofs do degrade and have to be patched, or he would be on welfare. He is making it from day to day and is just barely keeping his family fed.

Worse than that, I suspect.

Median home prices ought to be in line with median family incomes.

They were out of line back in the 80s, too.

They've been getting steadily more out of sync since about the early 70s.

Real estate prices was a gigantic bubble, and it's not yet finished deflating.

And if that is true, then the banks are in big trouble, and if that is true, then we (and the rest of the world more or less) are also in big trouble.

I have no solution for this, but I know who I'd like to hang.

Me too.
How much does 5,350 feet of rope cost ?

Keep the stats coming.
I do screenshots.
I'm making a collection, and have been for years.
These will go on DVD's for my grandchildren so they'll know who did what.
Rewriting history, if you will, to show them everything they ever "learned" was a lie.

I just hope the shanty towns their peers will live in at least have some electric and a few computers.
Lucky for them, grampa spotted The Lie all the way back in 1973-74 when "they' tried to make me into a glassy eyed flag waver too. They failed.

 

[uscitizen]

But we are not building nearly as many new homes as we did a couple of years ago so with the supply down the price should rise?

 

[Douger]

The only thing that will go up in price is tents.................
