From the bubble camp part two...
"Existing homes were sold in April at the fastest pace in history as the nation's red-hot housing market just kept getting hotter.ADVERTISEMENTThe National Association of Realtors reported Tuesday that existing single-family homes and condominiums were sold at a seasonally adjusted rate of 7.18 million units last month, a gain of 4.5 percent from a revised March sales pace of 6.87 million units."This comes from yahoo news, and the article admits this raises fears of the housing bubble a little higher and provides evidence that people are moving into the market for speculative reasons. Seeing a link from "realtor.org" I couldn't help but wonder what they had to say. I know that you should never ask a barber if you need a haircut, or ask a realtor if you need to buy a house, but just to measure how even-handed they would be, I perused some articles.
