The last housing drop was a sudden one, this time around I am expecting more of a slow fizzle starting this September. Financially it is easier to leave San Diego and go somewhere cheaper than the opposite. A lot of variables to consider, commute,how long before retirement,are you happy where you are. There are always deals to be had, but most of those are bought by the flippers. I’m happy where I am, but that doesn’t stop the wife from looking for the bigger better deal. What zip code are you in? Maybe a house swap?
