I wondered when this would start to come off the MSM. Timing is everything. One thing many of these “analysts” dont calculate into their analysis is that the govt allows $250K cap gains profit with no tax after 2 years of occupation. That’s a 25% boost in CA right there. And what other investment allows this??? Of course, it needs to be increasing in value…..

I’m glad we’re finally seeing articles like this. While we’re not at the bottom, articles like these at least show that we’ve made substantial progress and that the “buying real estate is always good” meme is largely worn out. When Newsweek’s cover says, “How to avoid ever buying a house again,” then we’ll be at the bottom.

I think there are some legitimate points raised in the article and here…

But, if you plan to stay in your house, long-term, then “free rent” once the mortgage is paid off is a factor. We are looking forward to our mortgage freedom.
