Wow, I survived the night without being called a troll or a real estate agent (no offense to you, SDR). 🙂 Not that I would mind being called one. After all, this site is titled “Southern California Housing Bubble News and Analysis”. What else can you expect?

DWCAP, I’m not sure we disagree much on CV. I did say that I believe CV prices will experience a relatively small decline towards the end of the cycle. If I have to guess, I would say it will be about 20% on average, not insignificant for million dollar homes.
raptorduck, your description on your home buying process is the best advise for a couple that I’ve ever read. It is no easy feat to strike that kind of balance though.
