Let's see. Economy booming? Check. Gas prices moderating? Check? Inflation controlled? Check. Housing market? Hmmm...yeah, let's bash that and see if we can't talk it down and make people feel bad. Let's talk about how values will only increase 3 to 4 percent rather than 8 to 12 percent. Horrible! HORRIBLE I tell you!

This is the dumbest thing I've seen. 6.5% is still historically low.. and a deal!!! The only reason it's falling is the media has been saying it would fall. If people think our prices are high, they should look at prices around the world -- even Mexico.

Don't forget that the Fed is closer to beginning rate cuts then rate increases.
