    I don’t follow.
    1. overpopulation’s everywhere.
    2. The bubble(and this superficial economy) is caused by Banks, wall street, and the Republican majority giving the green light to them….in exchange for some of the money they siphon from the American people.

    3. People are losing their homes everywhere.

    Regardless of the ups and downs in the market, trying to put quality in to a property is important.

    Here in the Phoenix area, real estate sales have had a sudden surge, granted prices have fallen sharply in the last few weeks. Listingsupply com indicates that MLS listings in the major US markets are finally starting to fall, which should mean price stability ahead. Let’s hope!

    So, what’s that appreciation on a cardboard box in a Hooverville :) There are several inaccuracies here but none which devalue the general point of the video - illogical use of real estate solely as a speculative tool which always appreciates in value.

    There are many areas outside of these depressed markets which are pretty stable because they did not participate in the bubble. Most Bubbleville residents’ world tends to revolve around themselves.

    Good presentation. …
    Good presentation. But one clarification: Piet Eichholtz, a professor of real-estate finance at Maastricht University in the Netherlands, studied 450 years of price history on the Herengracht, or Gentlemen’s Canal. For my own forecast of prices in the UK, search “UK Property” on YouTube. You will see that Builder share prices are a good leading indicator.

    Pretty good stuff …
    Pretty good stuff but like most economists and commentators he fails to mention that the housing bubble is really a land price bubble not a house bubble. Houses/improvements to land do not appreciate but land value does. This is due to the fact that the improvements can be increased indefinitely while the supply of land is relatively fixed. When “housing” prices fall it is speculative land prices that fall. Modern economists refuse to treat land separately from capital. Why is that?

    Excellent presentation. I’m a Californian resident who recently graduated college. I have been looking for a full time IT job since December 2006. This video is spot on! I believe no one takes this drop in the California real estate “bubble burst” than fresh college graduates. Entry level information technology job offers are almost non-existent here in Sonoma County. Real estate prices are still plummeting. Foreclosures are at new record highs. Mortgage interest rate are sky rocketing.

    Economics is a superficial distraction. Why must we build more houses all the time? Why must the population grow indefinitely and create demand for said houses? Those are the real questions people should ask. Economics exists in a vacuum with no physical limits.

    This is exactly what I have been predicting! How can a 3 bed 2 bath home in So. Cal that was worth $250,000 in 1996 be worth $900,000 in 2006?? It just doesnt add up! There has to be a major correction with a family of young professionals making well over $100,000 a year can’t afford to buy a home within 40 miles of thier job due to inflated home prices!!
