Is this time actually different?

Tuesday, February 13th, 2007

It’s not often that I forward articles of interest, particularly those that are dated. However, I found these two research papers of particular interest.

While much of my research showcases the risk of many coastal markets, it also shows that many of other areas have not experienced the coastal boom. As I have written before it appears that certain areas are just prone to bubbles (i.e. California), while others have experienced a bubble during times of tremendous economic boom (i.e. the oil boom of the late ’70s and early ’80s).

No matter your personal view, both articles are relevant to the debate of future home prices. The articles have made me question: “Is this time actually different?” Or are we (the bubble busters) using the same false-logic that Realtors tried to use on us?

New Blog Location

Monday, January 1st, 2007

Welcome to the new thebubblebuster.com blog. The blog has migrated here in anticipation of the new thebubblebuster.com website on January 8th.

This will help resolve much of the traffic issues the prior blog had experienced within blogger.com and will hopefully create a more seamless experience.

Consequently, effective today no new posts will be added the old blog and I’ve only migrated over the prior post. I realize this is an inconvience, however, I ask that you update any bookmarks and/or rss feeds.

Lastly, the new thebubblebuster.com page on January 8th will have a “links” page which will act as an archaic link exchange. This will hopefully act as a shared network of many bubble blogs and/or real estate websites. If you would like to have your site added to the new links page, email me (analysisguy@gmail.com) once you have added thebubblebuster.com website to your page and I’ll add your website to this list.
