Very interesting market, the inventory is massive. I think the prices have to come down. The buyers can wait much longer than the sellers who are losing money everyday. The condo prices may hold longer as they can be rented out.

Thanks. The article linked from the blog is interesting to read too.

"Wherever prices decline, look for lots of sellers holding out for unrealistic prices in a vain attempt to recoup their losses. It’s a hang-up that people have, and it can cause big problems. A number of houses with high prices just sit on the market while everyone waits.

One source of difficulty arises from a basic fact of real estate economics: about half of home purchases are by people moving within a metropolitan area. If sellers can’t sell their houses because they want too much for them, they also can’t become buyers of new homes."

Yes, exactly. It's been flippers selling to flippers. If one flipper cannot sell his property, he cannot flip the next one, thus screwing yet another flipper.

Probably not just flippers, it affects a lot of moving up buyers.

同样不明白，老杨说的都是俺心里话啊。
看见大段的英文都是跳过。惭愧。
