Live chat on Friday: Economist Anirban Basu

A reminder to all you inquisitive folks: Baltimore economist Anirban Basu will take your questions in a live chat at 9 a.m. this Friday. Queries about the economy, the housing market and related topics are all fair game. (You can see his bio here.)

Our live-chat system will open its doors here (baltimoresun.com/realestatewonk) around 8:30 a.m. to collect questions.

But you know how it is: Life will prevent some of you from showing up, virtually speaking. I'd love to see some questions asked in advance -- we've only got two so far. You can submit them in the comments.

What do you anticipate happening with regard to housing appreciation? How long will prices remain close to flat (in the Baltimore area) after the decline is over?

Mike, I don't think Mr Basu has enough hands to accurately foretell er answer your question.
