This is a confusing experience for the real estate industry, sellers, and
buyers, since prices have ballooned for 18 years, interrupted by only one brief
dip during the Financial Crisis, and the rule has been that prices will always go up and that you can not lose money in real estate.
But they say military
buyers would insulate the market against a
dip if the credit does expire, which has been the case
during the worst of this recession.
