""People were throwing money at houses, but that's all stopped," Borsian said. "People are more thoughtful. The summers have a tendency to balance things out."

even if we don't get the technical "double dip"....growth rates a 2.5 to 3 percent are not sufficient, imo, to sustain the type of income growth that would be necessary for home prices to continue moving up at what i consider to be an unsustainable pace. (double digits)
