"Real Estate Will Underperform Inflation for Decades"

Snip...

"If the last 100 years are any indication of the future, expectations of future price appreciation are not a legitimate reason to buy real estate.

I am also seeing a tremendous increase of for sale by owners in New Jersey due to self promotion sites like NJville.com and craiglist. These types of sites are are making it easier for home owners to sell their own properties for free and pass the savings off to the new buyers.

".......PASS THE SAVINGS OFF To THE NEW BUYERS?

Most sellers who try to sell their own home-(without a broker), have the mind set of "why should I share my sale price!
It is not for the intent of the poor buyer! Think just a little
