to be at [or: experience / see / witness / hit] the lowest of lows Explanation: "The lowest of lows" - also used on US and UK website articles about real estate / real property markets. (1) http://www.ciremagazine.com/article.php?article_id=1252 "Secondary-market real estate investors have reason to be concerned. The mortgage crisis has paralyzed the debt markets and the few remaining active balance-sheet lenders have taken their capital and flocked to the perceived safe haven of primary markets. [...] [These] markets, which <B>have witnessed</B> both the highest of highs and <B>the lowest of lows</B> in a painfully short time span, now stand as the great unknown in commercial real estate." (2) http://www.nic.edu/news/publicrelations/index.asp?details=1&... "[...] worked for 38 years in the law field and owned his own real estate brokerage in the 1980s. He has witnessed the market change over the years and has always seen it climb back from even <B>the lowest of lows</B>." (3) http://www.housesforcashuk.co.uk/blog/how-did-house-prices-g... "<B>We’re</B> now <B>in the lowest of lows</B> the housing market has ever seen with the average price the same as it was 6 years ago before the boom. <I>This catastophic dip</I> is only here because of the massive high we all experienced, but how did prices get so high?" (4) http://www.usnews.com/money/blogs/flowchart/2010/05/07/state... "We didn't experience the extreme highs that some states experienced, but on the flip side, we don't <B>hit the lowest of lows</B> either." (5) http://www.zillow.com/blog/real-estate-depreciation-the-lowe... [Blog post title] "Real Estate Depreciation — the Lowest of Lows in the U.S." + (6) As discussed on a forum - http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=744638 << Trinibeens Senior Member Join Date: May 2007 Location: NYC Native language: U.S. English Age: 60 "Highest of highs and <B>lowest of lows</B>" uses <I>superlatives to emphasize great differences--the best and the worst</I>.>> |
