You definitely did the right thing hanging on to get a house. You really can’t worry about what’s going to happen with prices, and it sounds like you don’t plan to. I’m pretty sure you’ll do better with your place than I’ll do with mine. Maybe I’ll catch back up further down the road…
I’ve been through this before and maybe I didn’t know enough at the time, but it’s fairly easy to get back to living your life and your house price does whatever it does. You avoided the big hit and that’s what matters.
