real estate market: Historical Perspective - 03/15/09 08:09 PM
I've been in real estate for over 30 years.  I've seen markets soar and sour.  I've seen interest rates so high that you would think you were charging your house to a credit card.  I've seen government programs come and go with varying degrees of success.
