[quote=peterb]Yes, I think this herd has been starting to buy in the last year or so. Starting with TG. Then others have begun to be infected as well. I’ve been checking this site for about 2 years and it has become much more pro-purchase than when I first came here. I’d say it’s up to maybe 30% in favor of buying now.[/quote]

It all depends on where those people want to buy. TV has come down to a point where a good case can be made that it is a good time to buy a house, if you have the money and finances (job, savings, security…) to be smart about it. Bottom or not, alot of people will take close enough for them.
The nicer parts of SD however are taking longer, so the piggs who wanna live there are waiting longer. So we will eventually get to a point where more and more piggs are buyers as their areas get realistic. This is the natural course of things, and is a good thing.

Then there will be the taunting posts where cause someone is richer than I he must be smarter than I, or because I dont wanna buy when you think it is a bottom it must mean I will never buy. I personally just shrug those posts off, cause they offer little more than a superior attitude most would recognize on a middle school playground. If I miss the bottom and eventually pay more for a house than I could have, eh that is what I get for my decisions. (Imagine that, economic consequences/rewards for my decisions! Currently we are in the special ed, ‘Everyone is a winner’ mentality)
