(PRWEB) December 9, 2005 -- The meltdown in the US housing market continues, while leading bubble blog HousingPanic.Blogspot.com reports in real-time the impact on homeowners, flippers, buyers, builders, realtors, investors and more.
"This week was shocking for the honesty and frankness we’re now seeing in the media, in the numbers and even from industry leaders like Freddie Mac chief Richard Syron,” said Keith Brand, HousingPanic publisher. “This is playing out like a classic pump-and-dump or Ponzi scheme. Obvious bubble markets like Phoenix, Miami, San Diego, Boston, Orlando and Las Vegas are seeing their real estate investors flee in droves, resulting in explosive listing numbers and the locals holding the bag.”
