The Real Estate Chanel

Here is something that should be banned along with subprime loans that helped tank the real estate market a few years ago -- the real estate channel.

You know what I'm talking about.  It's the house hunting channel.  The channel where the young couple wants to live on the beach and they are more demanding and high strung than a pit bull-poodle mix as their real estate agent shows them one house after the other.  The wife usually has the annoying, nasally whine of a Kardashian wannabe saying she wants a house with "a more beach-y feel with open space and room to entertain friends."

The husband wants a man-cave to get away from her whining and never ending demands.

Whatever.  What I don't get is that they tout purchasing a home for $500,000 like it's nothing.  I don't know what kind of jobs they have or what amount mommy and daddy are donating to the cause, but half a million for a home for couple starting out is not chump change.  It's unrealistic and irresponsible to show on TV.

Hey, they don't show cigarette commercials anymore for the VERY same reason.

I smell another real estate bubble coming.  This show is nothing more than the real estate agents'
propaganda chanel duping people into thinking they can afford mortagages they can't in reality afford.  Real estate agents all work on commission as a percentage of the selling price.  Of course they want the market inflated.  This TV show is like luring young teens into dope and getting them addicted.

Stay tuned.
