"Catfish Recovery"

June 23, 2011


In an article by Steve Cook in RISMedia on June 8, 2011, Scott Sambucci, vice president of market analytics for Altos Research is quoted. I found the quote and the designation "catfish recovery" to be right on target. I share it with you.


"We've entered the catfish recovery. What is catfish recover? Housing prices will find their way back to a fairly stable and sustainable place near the bottom and they'll stay there for a while. Catfish live on the bottom of lakes and streams, bobbing up and down, moving around without any clear direction. The housing price trend will look like the path of a swimming catfish, and that's why it's the catfish recover." says Sambucci.


I personally love images and for me this is a perfect description of where we are in the housing market. In his Webcast he also adds : "We're heading into the single best time to make money in real estate, but only for smart people."
