[quote=socrattt]TG nothing wrong with a little optimism, but looking at it from the perspective that this whole financial debacle just started, I can’t imagine that now is the time to buy. On a side note what do you have to lose if you are picking up a home for $60-70sqft (If you buy a $200K home, the worst you can do is lose $200K). I went looking up there recently, but this whole financial mess got me scared. [/quote]
Perhaps, but I think for TG’s case
1)it’s a primary home for his family
2) he’s probably not going to stretch an arm and a leg for
3) financially, he’s probably at a stage that he feels he can weather this out pretty well, or at least more so that a good percentage of us
4) life is short
anyway, primary homes are for a lot of us personal decisions. Like i said, TG, good luck man. Do share some pics.
