Well, the people who were asking the preposterous price of 1.15M for a 1500sq. ft home across the street appear to have taken it off the market after 2-3weeks. In its place, someone is asking the nearly equally preposterous price of 930k for a smaller home down the street. Still on the market after a weekend. That's slower than earlier this year.

Lizzie, I think that what you might be seeing are just phantom sellers with high asks. We need to see some deals done below ask before playing taps.

Oil may be in a bubble but demand is growing and supply is having a hard time keeping up. Shorting energy at this point, or buying energy, could be very dangerous with all the hot money there. There could be a lot of money to be made off of Rita but that's short term. Longer term I am watching the economies of China, India, and the US to try and gauge where demand is going. China is probably the more important player.
