“Houses cost too much for the mass market. Today’s average price is out of reach fro two-thirds of all buyers.” Science Digest 1948 ( average price at that time: $ 8,000)

“The goal of owning a home seems to be getting beyond the reach of more and more Americans.” Business Week 1969 ( average price at that time $ 28,000)

“The era of easy profits in real estate maybe drawing to a close.” –Money Magazine 1981

“If you are looking to buy, be careful. Rising home values are not a sure thing anymore.” –Miami Herald 1985

“Most economists agree…a home will become little more than a roof and tax deduction, certainly not the lucrative investment in was…” Money Magazine 1986

“We’ve started to go back to the time when you bought a home not it’s potential money-making abilities, but rather as a nesting spot.” Los Angeles Times 1993 ( Note that 1993 was THE absolute low-point for the real estate values in L.A. Prices have sky-rocketed since.)
