Yep, Fix the damn prices in first place. Make it affordable first and then count on inflation adjusted house price gains.

you'd most likely would like the polished cement with glass. i like the ruff edge look. would increase home price by 100k I'm sure ;-)

Deep down inside I think all of us know- especially those of us that live in places like the Bay Area- that yes indeed- there will probably be another housing bubble. Why? Because places like the Bay Area thrive off of them and have done so for 150+ years. The last 30+ years have been no exception. All it will take is yet another "miracle" bubble in who-knows-what and wallah- it'll be 1999 or 2005 all over again.

Hate to say it as I myself hate housing bubbles worse than anything. But people are dumb and gullible enough to fall for bubbles and eagerly invest in them. Its human nature. When it will happen? Who knows? Will it happen. Probably...

give everyone in America 100k cash that would raise housing prices.

If the mortgage rate becomes 0% than no improvement to the property is needed, with actual cost of financing passed to treasury so that bank does not loose anything and prices gets jacked up. :)

I know the market is bad. I don't own a home.. I wasn't exactly making a joke..just didn't know if anything stood out these days. I think the market will keep going down for years.

Use the imitation, the seller’s agent will take it for “granite”, especially if the house price is high.

I recently looked at a high-end foreclosure and asked the listing agent if the floor was real hardwood (as advertised) since it had too uniform a grain appearance and more spring than normal. I was told a house in this price range had to have genuine wood floors. I was able to find a floor vent and discovered the floor was laminate. I didn’t buy the house and the MLS was never updated to reflect the fact the floors were laminate.

Moral of above story: Realtor lies (redundant) make a house price go up!
