At my office, definitely. One guy was dead-set against it, but now he wants to get married, and she doesn’t want the debt, so they’re planning a he-defaults, she-buys pre-marriage deal.

IMO, as the high-end continues to show softness, that’ll pressure the mid-range to some worthwhile deals. Right now, office chatter and anecdotes still don’t line up with all the inflation-adjusted graphs Rick keeps posting. I don’t hear talk of “getting ready to buy” but instead “still can’t afford it”.
