The real estate market is in one of two states, rising or falling.

Bubble or burst.

If you wait long enough BOTH will be true.

The first time homebuyer market from Denver to Colorado Springs is over heated. It makes it very hard to work with buyers.

I believe we are in select markets. Telling isn't it when a majority of the National Budget is tied up in Student Loans. The loan companies need to pull in the reins on giving out student loans to students to pursue pointless degrees with no hope of ever having the income to repay these loans!

Prices have not increased enough to create a bubble here in New England. Sales are very strong here. I think the lonly thing that could grind the market to a halt is a sharp raise in mortgage interest rates

Robert 'VEGAS BOB' Swetz - what goes up comes down! Specially with unrealistic increase in prices in some of the neighborhood I see, I am wondering how long these prices will remain so high!

And the first guess is - expect 2017 to be the beginning of the burst...may be slightly.

There is no real estate bubble in Branson, Mo.  We have plenty of homes and very low prices.  Beautiful 5200 sq. ft. with 2 adjoining lots and fenced with about $50,000 of  nice fencing.  $355,000.  No bubble here.

I think California is heading toward an adjustment - in SF there are too many high end condos being built with a downturn in income and employment in the silicon valley types.  We are heading to a shift here on the East Coast

I don't think we are in a bubble yet but it appears we are headed for one. Real estate is local so the answer will be different in Cali than Florida.
