It was not directed at you though in hindsight you certainly could fit in the group who question how many buyers there are for homes at current prices.

I definitely agree that the value today is above $1M as anything nice around here up to $1M (or slightly over) that gets priced 10% below market will gewt swarmed with offers from well motivated, qualified and willing buyers.

Lastly, I think looking for homes priced during particular time perods is a bit of a bear trap. So many things have changed since those time periods that it is impossible to isolate a time period and expect things to repeat the same. As you know you have to be opporunisitc as the general price levels are not what you are after, its the special opportunities you want to find and capitalize on.

Sorry typing without my galsses on so spelling must be awful
