wannabe, none of the three other happy little Temeculans are shills for real estate or employed in the industry in any way. Who are we? Who are you, your 17 weeks as a member of pigg makes you a newbie. We four have all just purchased or are in escrow. From memory, we each owe less than 300k and each have under 6% interest rates. We are paying rental numbers to own. No appreciation was understood by each of us and is not why we bought. Me personally, I got a big giant house and the three car garage of my dreams for $100 less per month after my tax deduction than my condo rent was. Exclipe works from home, Nor-LA needs to be between L.A. and S.D., my employer provides me with gas and a vehicle and Carlsbad worker will habla espanol. Are we a little scared, maybe, the world may go to hell in handbasket tomorrow. But I just out of my jacuzzi bathtub, cracked a ghost pines merlot and the laker/cavs game is about to start.
BTW, the very same reasons why anyone would be nuts to buy right now is exactly why you should.
