Watching with interest the feeding frenzy of grossly overpriced properties being snapped up by out of t owners, often for all cash in the many millions. When the projected economic downturn , expected to be severe and prolonged, hits these peoples’ cash will be all tied up and they will be stuck with property that will not sell for the inflated prices paid Zits a cycle here No sympathy

Kim, if people are buying the properties for a particular price, then that is what they are worth. Hoping that the economy will crash so you can “feel” right, is a truly sad and pathetic take on the free market and life at large…

Collective misery is not going to help you overcome all of your life’s poor choices. Hoping that people suffer because you were too meek or weak to make the right choices in your life is pitiful.

As the brilliant John Keynes said “Markets will remain irrational far longer than you can remain solvent”.
