Q: Why is it so hard to buy at the top?A: That’s how you know it’s the top.Who’s listing actual fee-simple dirt? Could life get any better?

Was a big-time Sixth Avenue media giant flim-flammed by a Gilbert, AZ, housewife, nom de guerre “Twist,” who has set herself up as an authority on the residential real estate market and its feverishly-sought collapse? From BusinessWeek Online’s Hot Property: In Phoenix, the numbers seem to go kerflooey every December. In December 2005, the number […]

Yeah, that’ll work… The specific marching orders are pretty stupid, but that’s hardly a surprise. The troops are supposed to prove that the Phoenix housing […]
I won’t have September’s numbers until tomorrow, but the news is not good for bubbleheads — which is to say that the news is not bad for everyone else. Meanwhile, there’s this from The Business Journal of Phoenix: Some of Arizona’s leading economists believe the housing slowdown is a short-lived bump in the road that […]
Ahem: I am rooting for an epic housing collapse, a disastrous recession, the collapse of the stock market, a complete replacement of our current partisian leadership, a questioning of our country’s current economic model, and a severe and historic financial meltdown.

Apparently, about 200 Phoenix-area Realtors got together Thursday night for some group therapy: About 200 agents gathered at the Southeast Valley Association of Realtors in Mesa to hear tips from top achievers on how to sell homes and handle clients in this transitional market.
