thats right passive, there are so many ways the median figure can be distorted
but only those people sitting behind a pc, the tyre kickers, reading all the props, will be conned by the figures, the propogander, the opinionistas spew forth, on almost a daily basis
the other side, those actually in the market, will have a far better idea of the real market they will compare apples with apples, or oranges with oranges they will actually go out to the open house, look around the location, and compare each property
just because that joker, stated he owns his own house, means nothing to me.....
the wife probably forced him into being a home buyer, rather than a renter....or there would be a divorce...
the woman, usually want the security of their own home, once they start nesting... it does not necessarily mean the other spouse was a willing participant.... he sounds like he was forced into the situation
him and his ilk, were still bearish on property in 2004, (from the 1987 stock market crash) and by the time they woke up, and were basically forced to acknowledge, that property had gone into a stratashphere, he then screamed, it was a boom and had to bust... so all the people that followed him, as his like minded bears, totally missed the gains and benefits, of the prior two decades.... and they have again missed huge gains in the last 8 years, almost another decade you pay peanuts, you get monkeys
