You could even say it's our duty to do so. Doing so might help some poor sucker... err, I mean buyer who visits those blogs looking for information and it might cause them to think that they really need to do more research into things like the kinds of mortgages their broker/RE agent is pushing. Maybe they'll think that perhaps they need to save up more money for the downpayment and have more cash on hand for emergencies. It's not a bad outcome.<br/><br/>Personally, I was thinking of buying a month or so ago. After finding this blog and others like it, I realized that I need to save up for a much bigger downpayment and not listen to the mortgage brokers who tell me that I don't need a downpayment because of this or that exotic mortgage product. <br/><br/>...actually, now I'm convinced that I'm better off waiting several months before buying because there will likely be much better deals around then.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('11788','rubyfan',''); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('11788','rubyfan','I think a lot more of us who hold to the housing-bubble theory need to be posting on those \"mainstream\" real estate (dare I say \"Happy Talk\") blogs.

…actually, now I’m convinced that I’m better off waiting several months before buying because there will likely be much better deals around then.
