Prove your post with supporting links or cry and complain Phranc.

I listed the HOME BUILDERS who are loosing their sales

Toll Brothers, Hovnanian Enterprises, D.R. Horton, Centex and Lennar the last two being "the nation's No. 1 builders in terms of revenue"

You just threw out a general report dusted off some government shelf from last year and rubber stamped with todays date containing not one spacific builder posting recent increased home sales... In other words it's a fluff job.

Wheres the link? What builders, how much did they gain in sales? what was the profit? Without the builders and a report of who and how much, you have nothing but hearsay.

BTW I'm not calling you a liar, I'm calling your post baseless hearsay.

I read that report too but it had no specifics so it's reliability as fact based on numbers is very weak by comparison to my "cut and paste bad picture blaaah blaaahhh"

Over at another housing / real estate forum a user posted a link to a site which has a balance of trade index. Just click the small american flag under the graph, and it will compare the current US and Canadian economies. From what I can gather, you guys are importing a whack of goods, but not having much luck exporting commodities.

Housing prices are going down the tubes? You mean going down 10% coming off a 200% increase in less then ten years. Oh and only in some markets others have seen no decline in value and others still are going up. We have record forecloses because we had record number of morons who bought houses they couldn't afford. Go figure.



You know, it's funny how people talk about "record numbers" meaing disaster. Every day, there are more people and more homes in the country. That's because population and home building keeps driving up the total number of both. OF COURSE you're going to have records broken.
