I read through the replies here, and as expected, none of them have an actual solution to this problem; which is to be expected, since this is a geek website where none of these people understand markets or economics, (and only half understand computers), so you're asking the wrong crowd.

The actual answer is: do nothing at all. Simply sit back and wait for one year. I promise you, the problem will solve itself.

It's called a Housing Market Bubble, and the thing about bubbles is, they pop--taking down millions of smug, clueless 'investors' with them. Happens on a regular cycle, like clockwork. Nobody ever learns anything.

This bubble is a particularly nasty one that will wipe out tons of idiots, both the deserving and nondeserving kind, sadly.

Oh, I did forget one small preparation you can make: load up on popcorn. Lots of popcorn.

This is the final, definitive answer. Print it and hang it on your fridge.

Sincerely, your worthless (according to HN) hillbilly friend in Alabama.
