    There is one group that were as culpable as the bankers during The Madness (c. Joe), and that was the auctioneers.

    If that house went from 180 to 264, it was because people were willing to pay and bid up to that price.

    They should go to Sherry Fitz or Real Estate Alliance who, according to their crap Ads, are 'Dedicated, Professional and Passionate.'

    First result on google for property bubble signs:
    -Very low available inventory available

    -Far more buyers than sellers

    -Buyer stories about how “I can never win… I always get outbid.”

    -Seller stories of reluctance to list their property “it will be worth a lot more in a few months”.

    -Auction psychology where properties get bid up beyond asking price

    check, check, check, check and check..

    Estate agents are regulated, although some appear to be cowboys from what I've read.

    She is right in one way is that they need to have more regulation.

    Again Joe not listening to his callers, she told him at the outset the house was in negative equity.

    Was back visiting friends in Hannover early this year. Two kids; 8 and 11. They're in school from 8-2. She can drop them off from 7 and can leave them there until 5 if she pays €5.

    For the fiver the kids get a meal such as pasta with sauce or a salad, that they help to make. They can play in the playground, do homework or projects or make stuff. There is no TV, they may put on a documentary.

    The young fella came home with a split lip and 3 stitches because he got hit by a Frisbee in the mouth. There was never any question of litigation whereas here the parents could expect a five figure payout.

    And that's the difference. Creche prices here are nuts because of high insurance /inshurdance and the fact that they need so many more staff in the first place to stop kids grazing a knee in the first place.

    It's a bit more complex than that, but it's part of the bigger problem.

    There might be regulations, but that's nothing without enforcement. I don't think I've come across any enforcement actions mentioned against autioneers, estate agents, etc.
