Here's a challenge to all you bears. If you have a dime to rub together, and thanks to my largesse, I will assume you have, head out to say 20 homes for sale, make an offer or spout the rubbish you guys put out here, then test out how many seller and agents will acquiesce to your profound wisdom and drop their price. Alternatively select 20 homes that are not for sale with some mortgage stress and try to get them to sell cheap to you for the same puerile reasons.
Beware though this challenge does come with a black eye warning.
