    no reason

    since home prices went up for no apparent reason, why shouldn't they fall? as for me, i paid 250K for a house that would have sold for 150K five years ago. as a result, i have no money left over to buy a car, have children, go to grad school, etc. not that i could rent for less. it doesn't make sense to me how prices could have gone up so much when the population didn't.
