I buy a home in 2009 (Pressure from the wife with second child coming and in-house nanny/ neice joining the household). I have been sitting on the sidelines since we sold in DC in 2006 and moved back to SD and its about time to purchase our long term home.. Im predicting the purchase in 4th quarter 2009.
On-topic:
Housing: San Diego County -19%, Nationwide -8%
Im not knowledgeable to comment on the others but am interested to see other takes.
