NY Times: Some Say Let The Housing Market Fall
September 7, 2010 at 11:10 am · Category: Real Estate
As the economy again sputters and potential buyers flee — July housing sales sank 26 percent from July 2009 — there is a growing sense of exhaustion with government intervention.

When prices are lower, these experts argue, buyers will pour in, creating the elusive stability the government has spent billions upon billions trying to achieve.
