So accoding to this article nassau/suffolk home prices are expected to go down 2.0 % in 2007 and 3.7% in 2008 for a total price drop of 5.7%...or are they actually saying 2.0% in 2007 and 5.7% for a total dip of 7.7% over the next two years ? Eiether way that's a pretty significant dip. I feel like most of the other opinions I've read have predicted prices to stabilize by the 3rd quarter of 2007. Anyone have an opinion on this prediction ?

IMO it's like predicting the stock market. it's not possible. these are just projections and opinions.

do you really think that is significant? they were talking about 20% price dips in the beginning of the year -
they also said that mortgage rates will be well over 7%, and I just locked in at 5.875 with no points - so i dont see prices coming down all that much if interest rates stay low.

i didn't think thats sounds that significant either...20% to me is significant, 7-10% to me sounds like a market readjusting itself

Well like I said, most the recent reports I've been reading weren't quite so pessimistic/down on the nassau/suffolk housing market..showing dips just through the 3rd quarter of next year. To see new reports suggesting that prices will continue to decrease for the next two years is pretty significant..at least for someone thinking about buying but not neccessarily in any rush. Obvioulsy if you own a home and plan on staying there for the next 5 to 10 years then it doesn't really impact you too much.
