Wrong, Anonymous! "Pumping residential real estate" by deceptive/fraudulent means is unacceptable (borderline criminal) similar to that of stock brokers spinning stock/funds they have a vested interest in. GET IT! The NAR and BIA (for that matter) are the enemies of the American home buyer - who would do just fine without either one of them...

The NAR has one and ONLY one function..That function is to pump residential real estate. All of the NAR's support comes from the real estate industry, whose sole function is...?....TO PUMP REAL ESTATE! GET IT?

Unfortunately 80% of realtors have never taken econ 100, much less graduated from college. You would think more of Leareah, who seems to be an educated man. However, he apparently has come to terms with his role as shill/lackie/bitchboy for the NAR. So sad.

>>Listen to your mortgage guy for straight answers and throw everything the agent says out the window!

Which mortgage guy?

My friend's who said "How much do you want to borrow? I can qualify you for anything?" Or mine who said "No one ever pays off their mortgage in California. You just don't do it. You simply sell it and profit, or you just keep refinancing if you want to stay in it." What? The mortgage guy makes $10-20k per mortgage? No way!

NAR and their so-called chief economist have been spinning the figures for more than a year now. It's criminal. Publications who continue to print this potentially harmful (to homebuyers) drivel should also be held accountable.

"NAR stands to lose credibility unless it also loses its Pollyanna approach to reporting the data for which it pretty much holds a monopoly." I trust RE Agents about as far as I can throw them. Like car salesmen...THEY LIE!!!!!!! Listen to your mortgage guy for straight answers and throw everything the agent says out the window!

I am 51, and lived through the last real estate "adjustment" of the 80's and 90's. Does anyone at the NAR or MBA remember that bubble-burst? 1. Historically, every new high real estate valuation was followed by a major correction, not at bottom yet. 2. If you look at MLS in most major cities, you will see many reduced listing prices. When the reduced properties finally sell, they become comparables for new appraisals,Think it thru. 3. Does NAR include foreclosures as sales? Some stats do...

Thank you for pointing out that the NAR failed to talk about Detroit. Sure I am glad to see that Indiana made the Midwest report - do you know what the cost of living is there by chance? All I can say is that the NRA should hire Bagdad Bob for their next PR guy.
