In every time and every place suddenly without formal warning the madness of crowds startles society with a temporary mass hysteria. In America, in the Summer of 2018 the madness of crowds took the form of " testy" real estate markets becoming an obsession as a frenzy of buying and selling of houses crowded out normal business activities and became ludicrous and pathetic as driven by the antics of Real estate professionals normal people went to obnoxious lengths to squeeze the last nickle out of each and every real estate transactions.

The concept of " testy" might have began as in- these are the times that test man's souls. Others mostly male historians writing later suggested "testy" behavior meant testicular as in it took real balls to negotiate a sales contact in these frothy markets for houses with these type of sleazy practices and sales techniques. Whatever the true definition of the original " testy" it certainly was a truism that in the Summer of 2018 real estate markets across the United States took on an edge not ever seen before and the lady realtors and buyers and sellers were central to making real estate practices Summer of 2018 not business as usual.

Some examples of sleazy and " testy " real estate behaviors? How about the county auditors sending tax collectors to the formal closings of final real estate transactions. Not unusual maybe to collect all of what is owed but dressed as Antonio, the merchant of Venice quoting Shakespeare's collection language to help smooth along another testicular real estate closing.

Another sleazy example of unusual real estate practice that Summer of 2018- there weren't enough real estate agents to handle the volume of buying and selling so because of the lure of easy money young people entered the real estate business in droves and here's the unbelievable part in those times
 real estate contracts were written on Paper and those young realtors abandoned their cell phones and texting and "chattings" sessions in droves which permanently hurt the real economy as the Summer 2018 bubble in real estate coincides with the collapse of the cell phone obsession in America. Go figure.

Hard evidence of the original cause to the "testy" real estate markets of Summer 2018 may have been the fear in American Island Guam"s of nuclear bombing by North Korea then a separate Country than the Korea of our times. Additionally two false nuclear scramble warnings of Nuclear bombs being sent towards Hawaii from North Korea materially effected real estate values in Hawaii which soon spread to California and the West coast causing waves of forced selling of over priced Houses.

It was over soon after it started looking back with hind site.

 First a major stock market crash. Then the collapse of something called bit coins. Then another Presidential scandal. Then everybody defaulted on student loans. Then the hunger and homelessness and massive unemployment. They couldn't even finish to build a gigantic wall between Texas and Mexico. Then one day normal people decided to live in houses only as large as they could afford and then the " testy" real estate markets returned to normal.
