US: Some homeowners delay sale in hopes of higher profit

"This type of behavior is the latest sign of speculation in today's frothy housing market, says Gary Kaltbaum, a money manager and host of the nationally syndicated radio show Investor's Edge. It's a sign that a bubble mentality is forming. It's a sign many people still believe housing prices will continue to rise at a feverish pace forever.

"All these signs tell me that we are in the late stages of a housing mania that is reminiscent of the dot-com stock market bubble," Kaltbaum says. "People are paying prices that have no relation to where housing prices were in the past, in the hopes that someone will pay a higher price. And that is a definition of a frenzy.""
