While there are less transactions taking place than a up market, there are less Realtors to facilitate the transactions that do go on.

That was more like a short slow down more than a down market. This is why our opinions differ. I have seen the early 90s and even the not so hot early 00s. It was very hard to sell a house then. People get turned off RE in a hurry when their jobs are not secure.
