I agree, partypup. I am also surprised to see people buying in 2008, but I keep finding bank owned properties. I saw one a couple of days ago that was bought about 6 weeks ago. Huh? Some people go through life blithely unaware and wonder why they are victims. Others perhaps know too much and that also has its downside. I prefer to stay informed. I am not trying to time the bottom, but even the blind squirrel can see that it is still not here and may not be here for several years.
