[quote=scaredyclassic][quote=Jazzman][quote=wallers]ok thanks everyone! great info. I think I am going to rent and see how this all plays out.
From all the info here and everywhere generally speaking it seems prices will either remain somewhat the same/maybe a bit up for sometime and things will trudge along or go down. So financially it might be prudent to wait and see with minimal risk of a continued large price increase (buy now or be priced out forever!). Plus there is the possibility of staying calm and being rewarded for waiting for lower prices.
On the personal side I like being a homeowner. But if I can’t get what I want perhaps than maybe it’s not a great idea to buy anyways.[/quote]
If I was in your shoes, I’d probably be doing the same. It’s a huge commitment so you have to be comfortable with it.[/quote]
people who actually think about things are unlikely to ever be really comfortable.[/quote]
Hahahahahaha, scaredy :=D. I well remember your months/years? of musings on here during your “overthinking” period before you finally purchased your current home.
I also remember all of Jazzman’s musings during and after his failed search up and down the state for a suitable CA retirement home. As I recall, 90% of his search occurred at the very bottom of the market (2010-2011?). As far as he’s told us, he still hasn’t purchased a CA home and I’m unclear if he still wants to. In any case, that train has long ago left the station.
