He did not outright predict it but seemed to be leaning toward a double dip, without changes in unemployment numbers.

I read on the Money magazine website, as well as a few others, that prices in Vegas are predicted to drop about 30% over 2010.

His predictions are bleak and he likes gold and foreign investments for asset protection and growth.He runs a brokerage specializing in foreign stocks, however.

It's good to see how the different reports and their predictions stack up against each other when compared your own trend projections based on recent and cyclical historical data.

Eddie- if just a glitch, you're predicting the market goes UP tomorrow?

Unless congress passes another tax credit, I predict your sales pitch will be more effective in getting more agents on board without tweaking and rebuttals.

But, by-far the biggest consideration (in my opinion) is that lack of competition within the industry and preferable treatment by revolving door bureaucrats means the government is paying way more than an efficient economic model would predict or endorse.

The less predictable ones include special assessments, damage in excess of security deposits, legal fees, utilities (at least when its vacant), CPA fees, etc.If you buy a dumpy bank owned or short sale property, and fix it up, the bank has some justification for the new value.

But most experienced investors know the ropes and know how to put out the fires.My prediction is that personal home-ownership will take a pendulum swing to the negative side as loans become harder to get, as the pool of qualified home buyers decrease, and as rents decrease.Home prices will also decrease, but investors will make up a larger percentage of the buyers.I see RE brokers offering more a la carte services, and the MLS losing its monopoly.

Can this be predicted or projected to see, over time, which is more cost effective?
