<Would report the same from Boston. We're re-doing the kitchen and getting people to work is damn near impossible. > Out here has cooled considerably... our place will be done ahead of schedule. But this is a MASSive market for building and I doubt that they get as backed up here as they would in areas like yours. DAK

I agree, about the blowoff top, RE in the big cities like SF and NY are already showing cracks. The RE prices in the big cities usially lead by 1-2 years on the way up, so I would assume the same is so on the way down. The fact is Rates on the TNX.X will be the death blow. As those rates move towerds 6% the Housing market will buckle. Spoke with afriend whos is a bOND TRADER, SAID FMH IS A TIME BOMB, financial engineering cant be maintained if Housing and Refi's slow. The only wildcard is the Government help they could get if trouble appeared.
