Then there are those lisitngs that the agents and sellers are both unaware will end up a short sale, once they give up trying for their dreamy pie-in-the sky list price. How many more does that add? If I double again, does that leave anybody left who isn't? If you run into some Colts and Patriot fans in NYC, give them the business!

As long as lenders require (as they should) a down payment and not more then 35% of income towards house payments, we will slide further down. The party is over and reason should prevail. It will be painful but a needed wakeup call. Do the math and you will understand where saleries need to be or prices need to go.
