I kept this November 2011 article on the NAR conference that took place in Anaheim last year. I wanted to see how far off the NAR lapdog would be when he gave his predictions for this year. Here is the article

After he's been wrong for several years, he's finally correct for once although he was off on his unemployment and interest rate numbers. iwog says although he couldn't have imagined QE3. Dude, I didn't see QE3 and I predicted interest rate would drop to 3.25% in 2012. Go and check out the 2012 prediction. Can I toot my own horns a little bit? :)

If / when the economy improves, rates will rise. There's no real reason to believe that they'll move in different directions over the long term.

Mininum wage+ $2/hour * 50 weeks/year * 40 hours/week= ($7.80 + $2) * 50 * 40 = $19,600. These low wage earners in Phoenix don't buy homes, they rent for double the PITI from some investor.

    18   7:55pm Sun 18 Nov 2012   Share   Quote   Permalink   Like   Dislike   Could you please elaborate what exactly you mean by "wage earner income"? If you're talking about the average income of a working person in a household, you're clearly wrong. If you're talking about the (antiquated) average income of hourly workers, you're also wrong. It's within 10% of the average according to the BLS. Hourly workers (outside of skilled trades) are also overwhelmingly not home buyers. Instead of telling people that they're wrong, why don't you tell us WTF you mean?

The average annual wage in the entertainment industry was $117,000 in 2011, more than twice the average of $53,000 for all private-sector industries. A big reason why prime LA neighborhoods have high property values.

Why should I believe you? You're a builder - a profession ranked right up there with realtors for untrustworthiness. All of you involved in the real estate business are neck deep in it, all of you, and that's why you keep flapping around this forum spouting your nonsense - you're covering for the shame and guilt you feel for the part you played in bilking so many people during the housing bubble. Shame on you, you new construction pimp.

I'll even allow for owner/builders acting as GC. Well, I suppose 99/100 is a fraction. Houses depreciate, but the price of lumber, concrete, rebar, ceramic tiles, and carpets keeps increasing. Not to mention labor. I've yet to see an example of a new home built for under $175/sf around here that compares to my home that is "worth" $175/sf -- and that includes the value of the land!

It costs $400/sqft to build something that isn't a shithole in the SF Bay Area. And you need to buy the land of course.

I considered building there and I think $200/ sf is possible, but you'll still need to pay$350-400k for a 4000 sf lot with a condemned asbestos and lead hazard on it. Total costs easily over $400/sf
