Many other economists, meanwhile, are reluctant to make predictions of any sort. Brian Bethune, U.S. economist for IHS Global Insight in Lexington, Mass., said housing forecasts are pointless these days because so much is unknown, especially about the federal government's housing measures. "We're in uncharted territory," he said. "We can start polling people, and they'll start throwing out numbers. At this point, it's just confusing the public. Quite frankly, a lot of this is unknown. Once the pieces of jigsaw puzzle come together, then we can make a reasonable prediction." I agree with this guy. Things are too variable at this point to make predictions. Have to take things one month at a time.
