This report states that our national equity value has flipped to the negative. For the first time in history we owe more on a national basis than our homes are collectively worth.

REALonomics: Polling Market Trends
March 3, 2008 by REALonomics · Leave a Comment
Polling is an important component of REALonomics. Our last poll asked the question, “Should the U.S. Government Intervene in the Sub-Prime Mortgage Crises?” 71% of respondents said “NO” and 29% said “YES” in this poll.
Without defining what is meant by the use of the word “intervene” it appears to us that there is a strong bias in favor of non-interference. But is it possible for the U.S. government take a position of pure non-interference, given its influence over the money supply, credit conditions and the policies of national mortgage departments such as Freddy Mac?
Our new poll attempts to measure your local market trend in terms of your perception of its sales based upon whatever criteria you chose to use. We hear what the media says and we hear and read the reports that are published by the “authoritative” voices within the industry. But what do you say? What is your market trend?
Brokerage, mortgage and title services may all participate.
