Anyway, I am not an economist. 

Case in point: I am reading a real estate economists' blog this AM and the thing is littered with spam comments seeking to get backlinks for a well known real estate personality.

I do a lot of work for the the Costa Rican government on there education and curiculum development,  I have good contacts with great people there including one of there respected economist.

Presently I am an Economist working for the Government of St.

Just like economics, you can have one economist say one thing while another says the exact opposite and both think they're right based on their schooling and experience. 

I have a background in construction, real estate sales and management and was the economist for a REIT for a few years (along with customer service, security and a few other things.) 

CaneshaLikewise, also - only my opinion ...The best thing anyone can do is to make more lending available for builders and developers.Yes - the previous "bubble" and crash were caused by the banksters ... they so much as admitted that on camera.Back then, economists estimated that some 80% of builders and developers went under when the housing market's buyer pool literally dried up overnight.

I have heard from several realtors here in socal that they are being told by economists that rates will be cut in '24 because of the election, and they are preparing to be in a very busy, multiple offer scenario with home prices jumping. 

Most economist believe such a stimulus would almost certainly cause a rapid return of runaway inflation.

Meanwhile, the expected home price only increased by about $10,000 in that stretch.The economists who conducted the study don’t think this trend will continue.https://arizonasuntimes.com/20...
