I have a 6 figure job software job, the wife does ok teaching at a private school (not public school money though), and in no manner do I want to spend $3500 to buy a home in Escondido. I’ll continue to rent and we are both upper 30’s with elementary aged kids. They still have bedrooms, and a place to play, and we don’t live in a less than desirable town.
The thing you need to realize David Peace is that most of the folks on here are doing fine, and are seeking to make the wisest use of our resources. Right now buying a depreciating home isn’t smart, if your horizon to sell is so short. You are simply dismissing everything as negative when post after post on this board outlines very good reasons with DATA that explains most of the opinions of the market around here.
If you truly were here for over a year you’d know about some of the folks who sold out and are sitting on large wads of cash waiting for a better time. And they are discovering how easy it is to make 5% on that money while waiting.
