SocraticGadfly: You thought the housing bubble was bad?

You thought the housing bubble was bad?

Commercial real estate prices are already further off their peak than housing values, and pwith a turnaround even further out of sight.

Unlike housing, it wasn’t overbuilding, but too much money sloshing around the system, spiking prices in commercial real estate as investment.

Full recovery could be a decade away, in part because commercial real estate deals were sliced and diced and repackaged even worse than home mortgages.
