[quote=deadzone]Seems to me it is many of the recent homebuyers on here who are very sensitive and defensive about this subject, maybe a lot of them have buyer’s remorse?
As I’ve said many times, I don’t care which way the market goes as I am very happy where I am at, so that does not bias my opinions. My statements instead are based on facts and common sense. Regardless of what a certain realtor may “see” regarding the buyers interest not falling, the lagging sales numbers prove otherwise.[/quote]
FWIW – I have recently bought and am not sensitive or defensive. I tend to agree w/most of what you have said and I also appreciate SDR’s comments. It’s hard to be a winner here. I think if one is young enough, waiting it out is a better idea. I do not think we are at bottom in many ZIPs. OTOH, at a certain point one reaches an age where waiting will only take time and delay where you want to be and there’s no capturing that back. This is where I agree w/Rich and SDR. There is no size fits all.
[quote=deadzone]P.S. I realize none of this analysis pertains to sdr’s neighborhood, we all know that his is a very special and unique sub-market, completed unrelated to others where home values never decline.[/quote]
