One real estate expert I talked to says that bubbles in residential real estate markets don't act like normal bubbles. When the dot.com bubble burst, the market tanked as people tried to dump their stock. By with RE, especially residences, people tend to hold on to their homes and ride the bubbles down, so any decrease in price tends to be both slower and smaller."I hope I get to punch you in the face one day" - MRT144, Imran Siddiqui

It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891
