Meh, generalizations are tough. Sure, perhaps individuals with a vested interest might theoretically be more inclined to some sort of bias, everything else being equal. But real estate is a widespread as a topic of interest for the general population (70%? of adults own homes and you need to live somewhere.)
But let’s be honest, some suggestions are a little silly. Like “all real estate agents are evil incarnate and are purposely misleading the public” or that “bears in this thread have to be misrepresenting themselves (somehow) and need to hang out with more CEO’s of oil & gas companies.”
Omgomgomg, tinfoil hat conspiracies!!
At the end of the day, everybody has their opinion and is entitled to it. As mentioned before,
why try to make it personal or add angst? There is no “I WIN” button or endgame finish line.
Opinions posted in the thread will have no material effect on the actual movement/result of the market; there is however possible education in the discussion. There has been some good data through the thread and I continue to hope to see the information upon which the various opinions are based; to educate myself and adjust my own investment conclusions as needed.
