skibum,

Well there's a reason we use "screen names".

I’m confident that house prices will either stay flat or decline slightly over the next few months. However, my fiance and I are 36 and 32 yo, and have been living in a 1 br apt for the past 1 1/2 years so we could save $ for a house, and we are anxious to move into a bigger place, so we’re going to put in an offer of 5%-7% below asking.

Scotch,

You are going to make a flipper very, very happy......you may even keep him from commiting suicide. If you do buy, I think in a year or two, your going to be drinking alot of scotch......but then again, maybe you won't be able to afford it.

I Like Scotch,

Welcome to the Board. As you can see, you need a tough skin to pass the "gauntlet" of surfer-x and co. Don't take it personally.

Is Gary Watts supposed to be Fred Mertz?

I haven't really written a script for it, but it was a Gary Watts infomercial Lucy was watching; Gary had convinced Lucy that the gains were "in the bag". She went on a spending spree buying up "too many houses" and couldn't sell them after the market tanked. Ricky (Desi) went on a advertising campaign convincing people that "the market is local" and that prices "here" will go back to normal appreciation, you know 8-10%. Alan Greenspam provided the easy to get funds that Lucy would have never been able to acquire in a normal market.

@allah,

Better yet, have you seen/heard the classic Eddie Murphy "Delirious" standup routine? If you have, need I say more?
