Stick Your Neck Out and Predict

[BlueMtnBeachVagrant]

There is no denying that real estate in South Walton (and just about everywhere else) has taken a hit these past 15 months or so.

There's doom and gloom all over this board.
There's also optimism on this board.

Let's have a little contest without all the clutter of commentary. If you must make a comment, please limit it to a sentence or two and ONLY when associated with your only vote.

In other words just make your prediction to the following question...

When will the "trough" or bottom of the real estate market occur?

PLEASE, your answer should be only February, 2006 or similar.

You may cheat anyway you know how!! I'll take my hint from the graph on the NPR thread and post first (just please click on Reply, not Quote to keep things clean).

Please come outside and play!

February, 2007, but a long slow climb back to February 2005 levels, maybe 3-5 years.

Which bottom? The first, or second?

When all "optimism" is noticeably absent from this board.

SJ, Just play along degummit! Heck, you can have multiple answers...one for your first trough and one for your second trough, etc.!!! But you'll owe us which will be the worse and by how much!!!! Same for anybody else who feels the same.

Does that mean "never" if you're still around? ;-)

Beware of the people who make predictions.
