I started reading Rich’s site back in 2004 (before he allowed comments).
After buying a modest house in early 1998, got married, started having kids and outgrew the house. Started looking for something bigger in 2003 (this was after I had told friends not to buy in 2001, because I believed the market was peaking then) and couldn’t believe what was going on with all the multiple bids and people chasing each other from for-sale sign to for-sale sign.
Tried to research “housing bubble” every day and could only find a few defunct sites that had given up and a U.K. blog, and the WSJ blog that was eyeball-deep in bull trolls.
Finally, Rich started up his site, and he had the best information on the internet (thank you, Rich!). I needed this information to convince my husband to sell and rent (not easy) for a few years, and printed out everything I could find.
Five years later, here we are, and I’ve been absolutely addicted for far too long…
