    In interest raising period, what will be the next trends?

    I'm wondering how rising rates will affect commercial and residential real estate which will then back flow into banks and the markets. Sure on one side rising rates will let banks and especially FCM's get back to making money off float...but then what about any R/E slowdown? Residential here...

    Sorry doom and gloomers. The real estate market is hot in California.

    Hell no :) no real estate for me, family and friends all live here and everyone is buying and selling and half the people in LA are RE agents...so theres plenty of local fodder to comment on. I guess common sense would dictate that you shouldnt believe RE agents too much unless you know them...
