Break it down: Why is the Real Estate Market Bad? - 10/12/07 12:38 PM
Gordon Corsie wrote a really good piece this morning breaking down "what happened" to the Real Estate Market. To the seasoned professional, this analysis is not new.

I came across this interesting article talking about the Russian mortgage market, and how it may (or may not!) be effected by the sub-prime collapse here in the United States. It's pretty interesting stuff if you follow mortgage news. In other news, a somewhat-not-as-dark-as-the-rest-of-the-market-sort-of-bright spot in the market is smaller, trendy homes. … (2 comments)

I feel like I have a pretty good vocabulary. I can use words like "juxtaposition" and "akimbo;" I know the difference between the words "effect" and "affect." But I have to hand it to these Active Rain guys. They have come up with word after word that I have never heard of. So, … (3 comments)
