It is a seller’s market.Homebuyers feel like they have to offer at least 10 percent more than the asking price.Donna，a new owner of a one-bedroom flat on Venice Beach，said，“That’s what I did.I told the owner that whatever anyone offers you，I’ll give you $20,000 more under the table，so you don’t have to pay your house seller any of it.I was tired of negotiating with the house sellers.”

　　Tim says he hopes he doesn’t get that desperate.“Whether you decide to buy or not，you still feel like you made the wrong decision.If you buy，you feel like you overpaid.If you don’t buy，you want to kick yourself for passing up a great opportunity.”

　　Everyone says the bubble (气泡) has to burst sometime，but everyone hopes it will burst the day after they sell their house.Even government officials have no idea what the future will bring.“All we can say is that，clearly，these things go in regular cycles，” said the state director of housing.“What goes up must come down.But，as we all know，housing prices always stay up a little higher than they go down (被接受)．So you can’t lose over the long run.Twenty years down the road，your house is always worth more than you paid for it.”

　　46．If Tim had sold his flat last year，he could have earned________.

　　A．$510,000

　　B．$440,000

　　C．$280,000

　　D．$160,000
