Hope for a 'normal' real estate market

Re: 'Prediction: Real estate losing fun factor' (Oct. 23)

Dear Editor:

With all of the attention being paid to real estate, people think that the banks are giving properties away. Then we have the $8,000 incentive for first-timers to buy. WHO DO YOU THINK IS PAYING THE BILL? ME AND YOU!

Let's let this mess die and get back to normal and enjoy the thrill of finding someone their first house, or the thrill of being creative and selling our listing. If I never see another foreclosure, that would be wonderful. I am tired of seeing a home in ruins because the angry owner rips the fixtures out and the pipes freeze, causing water damage and then mold. I say let's quietly work through the problem and get back to the joys of selling.
