I don't feel this is a black and white answer here.
It shouldn't be the first question asked when encountering a stranger, but I've delved into these types of conversations with strangers numerous times (on RE, cars, whatever) only AFTER you develop some commonality, rapport, etc that evolves with a conversation.
I enjoy talking local RE, values, speculation with just about anyone I deem to have a clue, so I enjoy getting into the numbers on things ... at a point.
It's not for everyone, but it doesn't always have to be rude.
