First. These are houses on improved land and not "homes."

Second, in what markets are house sales increasing? Who cares if house sales are up in Malibu if such are down in Peoria, Illinois, and Peoria is where you happen to live.

Third, rising prices are irrelevant as all this reflects is a decrease in the buying power of the dollar. That doesn't mean the a house sold today could buy the same quantity of goods as expressed in products as a house sold 10 years ago, ceteris paribus.

She's lying out her ass and she knows it. I swear I saw her nose grow in 3min. Being part of the Fed, she knows the ultimate goal is to own it all. I figure housing has at least 50% more to drop, if not more. Won't make any difference if no one has any money or the money become (more) worthless.

There are lies and lies and damn statistics - M Twain

Are they even 100% positive that they own the mortgage free and clear???.

There seems to be more than a little confusion there

and that is just the begging of the problems

The economy seems to be tanking and home prices will still continue to fall.

You cannot have a jobless recovery.

The dollar is at new lows against the Euro - Which is going to cause inflation or hyperinflation when all that currency they printed and put in circulation really hits the system.

There are other variables at play

I have ocean front property in Nevada if your that gullible

These people really just don't have a conscience

All in a days work you know - just another day at work for these lying whores

Screwing people - Just another day on the job.

There will literally be hell to pay

In Canada they were saying to buy American homes at a discount for winter getaways. No thanks! We have yet to see the bottom yet!

She talks about investors buying homes and not about end-use home owners. Investor sales are deferred sales that come back on the market within a year or shorter. They buy houses in foreclosure and do some cosmetic fixes to sell the house for a quick profit. You need to subtract investor purchases to come up with a real number unless the investor is going to rent the house out over a long term. She really does not know what she is talking about.

This is PURE PROPAGANDA designed to prop up support for corrupt real estate agents. Hope you all burn while this country goes down in financial flames much like Rome ... have fun !

[GameChanger]

Oooh, you mean I can RENT the house from the state and local govt.? There is NO SUCH THING as "buying" a home in the USA. If you do not pay the property taxes, you will be THROWN out of the house, into the street. No questions asked. Is this 'owning" the home? No, of course not, it's RENTING.
