Back in December of 2005 the National Association of Realtors (NAR) made a woefully wrong prediction. Thanks to Business Week for finding this gem:
PREDICTION: The national median home price will rise about 6.1% in 2006. Over a full year, it "has never declined since good record-keeping began in 1968." — National Association of Realtors, Dec. 12, 2005
THE REALITY: Through October, the median price of residential properties was down 3.5% from a year earlier.
The NAR was way off on this prediction. The median price decline is even worse if you take into account all the extra incentives that have been thrown on new home buyers. Don't trust the National Association of Realtors. Remember, David 'the shill' Lereah works there!
