who will sell homes?

the unemployed, whose ranks are growing rapidly
the savvy

I have a young friend who sold at the peak this spring
he just moved into a nice 2-bedroom apartment
comparable houses to his are probably 15% lower now

"snapped up by investors"
some will for sure, but where is all this loose money coming from?
if they wait, and I think they will, they will pay even less

why buy a house for renting out, if tenants face possible layoffs?

I respect what you say, but similar arguments were made for OldEconomy stocks 4-5 months ago

do I paint a scorched earth picture?
you havent seen scorched earth
if you want to, check out Beirut and Kabul and Sarajevo
they have one thing in common: all Islamic homes

honestly, that is what I believe Islamic Fundies want the United States to resemble
