The real-estate industry. If you were one of the home buyers in the past 8-9 years, you probably heard these words over and over again “buy now, buy now, buy now” “prices will go up, and up and up, buy now”. Here in California, they created bidding wars over houses. They had nothing to lose and everything to gain. I bought my house in 2000, and then sold it because of a divorce in 2007 for more than double the price. My ex and I were flabbergasted that our house was being sold for that much! Why? Salaries didn’t double, cost of living didn’t go down, the economy is not in great shape. The average house hold income in southern California is still way below the mean home value! The scariest thing is that they are doing it again. “Buy now” “prices won’t go down any more” “now that the government passed the bill, people will have a home-buying frenzy” “buy now”. Thank God, the banks are not falling for it this time and repeating their mistakes. So, I beg the real-estate industry. Please don’t put the world in a worse financial situation than it is in right now. Let us not forget to give credit to the industry who single handedly initiated this global mess we are in today.
