It only stands to reason that if the Feds are printing money to pay off debt that a larger number of dollars will saturate the economy. Dollars are like any other commodity; if supply rises while demand decreases then the value will drop. It is my opinion that the U.S. will eventually see higher inflation.

It seems the real estate world wants to believe that things are getting better - for example, here in Santa Clara County we are seeing a double digit rise in home prices when compared to the same month last year. However, looking at the macro picture, it does seem like the "double-dip" is inevitable, especially with the option arm debacle still ahead of us. What is your opinion on inflation? Are we headed for a period of high inflation as well? Hi Ted,

Any opinion when the bond market will loose interest? What happens then?Also I saw the news on Stuytown and Peter Cooper in NY. They totally walked away from management and everything. That's a huge blow. Of course they overpaid for it. Hey Ted, what are your thoughts on where Fannie and Freddie are headed over the next 5 years or so?

I saw a statistic that the houses in Anchorage were selling for nearly 95% of the buying prices. However, as a Realtor, I have not yet seen this trend.
