Lol, your just not getting are you? They will be able to afford to make a loss on a US home because, ubder your bubble bust theory they will be rich compared to US, and they are not worried about 100,000 here or there. > > >> If your theorized crash occurs then that makes the US poorer than > some other countries who will be perfectly happy to buy property at > the meagre prices they are seeing, wether there is a prevailing lower > market rate or not. > > With prices dropping globally.

I am sure you will put your money where your mouth is.>>> I am not talking about inverstors. Try reading more carefully. I am talking about 2 things: 1. People who have bought their house to live in it and own it (rather than throwing 10,000 to 20,000 a year down the drain in rent money) 2. People spending some expendable cash on a second home in the US. There are plenty. Canada is a thriving economy not as tied to the US as people think. The whole point being that your bubble will not last under such supply and demand conditions. Maybe in some places there will be a fall but it will not be across the board, except for the fact that Bush's Quagmire will suck up money and resources for economic development, and another big disaste in US could rock things. As long as there is an increasing population in an area there will be increasing house prices. Not that it is a big advantage to anyone , unless it is their business to buy and sell. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo!
