    Are they counting the 7 million in foreclosures not out yet??? Are they counting homes without mortgages? Are they even realizing that baby boomers who make up 36% of the buyers are saying they won’t buy again……….or that 26% of the buyers, Gen Xers are struggling…..don’t think so……….or last but not least, there will be 50 million unemployed by June 2010?
