MarketWatch Gets It - NAR and Their Chief Economist, David Lereah are Still Clueless About the Correction.
Unfortunately for David Lereah there is a permanent record of his dismal ability to understand what is happening with the housing market and MarketWatch is all too eager to point it out in an article titled Realtors’ economist stayed sunny all year.
