Hopefully nobody is using him to for his spot on forecasts anymore. He'd do better (and probably be more accurate) as a palm reader. Wow, this guy looks like a complete IDIOT.

Homes in Lawrence are not loosing value and sell quickly. It has surprised most of my clients that most of the homes they are most interested in touring end up under-contract by the time they arrive in Kansas to look at them. It's a whole different world here in Lawrence, KS.

Current property tax laws seriously penalize newcomers compared to existing residents. Tax fairness is getting worse, not better. I know very few buyers that would sign up for 10% property tax increases every year so that their full time neighbors can get welfare-like property tax caps of 3% per year. 2. The Florida public believes that migration of out of state retiring boomers will drive the market beyond what the local public can afford. A real analysis of census projections suggests there will be many more Florida residents retiring in place than migrating to Florida. In-migration may have peaked as a percent of new retirees in Florida. 3. The NAR seems to believe that lying from top level positions like their economist will make it easier for the average Florida Realtor to do their job effectively. The majority of the home buying public is far better informed than ever. The backlash against Realtors who now appear to the public as lying mercenaries is staggering. Customer trust is not achieved or maintained by deception. Florida has challenges that the rest of the country does not share.

In the year 2000 over half of the voting population in the state of Florida was the deciding factor in shaping the future of this country for the foreseeable future. The fact that these ignorant, civically challenged and down right lazy/stupid morons were responsible for ushering in the most devastatingly inept and corrupt government this country has ever experienced is some thing that can not be forgiven. We, the people that made the right choice in 2,000, will have to live through this blight that you have brought upon us for the next 25 years, at least! I firmly believe that the next devastating terrorist indecent to occur in this country will be implemented and carried out by a group of deranged, war scared Iraqi’s that Bush’s misguided and corrupt war has spawned. Thousand have died and thousands will die because you failed to grasp the obvious-G.W. Bush is ignorant, arrogant, inept, corrupt and evil. How you failed to grasp these fundament truths, I will never understand, or forgive. For you Righteous Christians that hailed Bush as the next prophet, I will submit to you that the blight that has been born upon you by the devastating hurricanes and now the failing economy is Gods vengeance and God will continue to punish you for the rest of eternity. For the rest of us, may God have mercy. Bush’s Blight upon Florida.

The report cites the condo market outperforming single family homes but really the condo market is much worse here. I try not to have too many for sale because they are so difficult. The report also cites rising rents but they are falling here in Florida. Stats are great for figuring out what happened after the fact but not quite as effective for predicting events.

I have a guy in Florida waiting to sell before he buys in Austin. If the bottom is here, perhaps things will get a bit stronger in a while and he can actually sell and move here. Austin has seen that quite a bit - buyers in other markets waiting to sell before buying here. Besides my selfish reasons, I really do hope that Florida stabilizes for everyone's sake.
