But I wasn’t ready to buy during that time, I was putting wife through 8 years of college. The problem besides would’ve could’ve should’ve is the present time. I will lose more buying now than in a bit for sure due to people are already having to come down off list price and paying 1/2 of full closing cost. Used to be homes sold in 1 week well over the asking price, paid no closing cost, and tone of bidding wars was occurring. So in my view market has already come down. The list price just hasn’t.

Also I just did a roof inspection today on a HOA in San Diego. Older condos on Navajo rd West of the 125 fwy (Lake Murray HOA), about 20% of those babies are for sale at the moment without buyers. 1 Year ago they would be long gone and wouldn’t have that much competition between other condos due to tons of investors buying most of them up. It all just looks like down then up is all.
