Social pressure sucks. i get it too. You’d think I was guilty of child abuse for renting. i sometimes am tempted to tell my mother in law to shut the hell up. i assume at some point things will get bad enough that she’ll tunaround, forget everything she’s said, and congratualte me for being smart. Then it will definitely be safe to buy. So, for everyone trying to time the bottom, I’d wait until my mother-in-law becomes bearish.
