“Rating Agency Says Real Estate Overvalued by 10%”
I recently read an article where Fitch, the rating agency, declared that real estate was overvalued by 10%. Mind you this is one of the companies that gave subprime loans an A to AAA rating. Statements like this are completely misguided.
It is so difficult to understand that they could possibly make a statement about overvalued real estate. The question that I have, overvalued compared to what? Does some real estate get sold for more than it should, of course, but there must be a good reason. How much real estate is still upside down across the country? Are these properties overvalued as well?
I guess it is just OK to just throw stupidity out and it will get reported and some might even believe the statements. Crazy!
