This is not your father's housing market, nor your grandfather's, for that matter. For them, steadily rising - but basically stable - home values seemed (more or less) a given. Recent news suggests that that situation may be a thing of the past.

Really funny photo of (oddly placed) "for sale" signs with absurdist twisted caption. Apparently the real estate market isn't so bad after all. Tongue-in-cheek, sort of.

If property owners could just keep swapping houses amongst themselves and pocket the profits all would be well. But ... there is a very big 'But' ... there is a significant proportion of the population that does not own property and they are on the outside looking in.

The average age of first-time buyers is now 34. They have to accumulate larger deposits and spend more of their earnings on crippling mortgage debts. They are taking significantly higher financial risks than any previous generation. High house prices transfer wealth from the young to the old and from the poor to the rich.

"Most everyone involved in the real estate bubble thus far has made at least a few dollars. But that is about to change. The bubble will burst, and when it does, the people who thought they'd be living the easy life of a landlord will soon find that what they really signed up for was the hard servitude of debt serfdom."
