Buying a house at the new top of the market?

[quote=AN]BTW, this is what you said last August:

[quote=sdcellar]That said, I am not saying that we’re 90% (or 85%) of the way there. To me, it’s a heck of a lot more complex than that. At the higher end, it simply seems like there’s got to be a ways to go, but even with individual lower end properties, I see prices that are still whacky.

I suppose I’m a big fan of ocrenter’s notion of 2001 prices being the right balance, but with all the machinations and madness going on, who knows?[/quote]

Is the higher end no longer whacky? Don’t you still think there’s a ways to go on the down side? Shouldn’t you be waiting for 2001 nominal price? Why settle for a 2001 inflation adjusted price?[/quote]Oh, the higher end is still whacky, but there are individual properties that are decidedly less so. People are still happy to overpay for CV. I suppose it’s a different strokes for different folks thing.

I’d love to get 2001 nominal price, but I can live with inflation adjusted (explained that to you at length just a short while ago). I believe this place is somewhere in the middle and I’d like to get this home buying thing behind me and move on the next thing at some point. I also think the further we get from 2001, the less realistic nominal becomes and I just don’t have the mental capacity to figure out March 2001 nominal price inflation adjusted since May 2009.

Of course you’d be less happy, I would be too. Did you say you think we might be at the peak of a mini bubble? If you do believe that, then why don’t you think this house could drop another 20%? What make this house so special? Did you think price in NCC still is wacky last August? I’m not trying to give you grief about buying, I’m just regurgitating what you say back to you. Maybe you were less emotionally involved back then, which mean you were thinking more like yourself back then. As someone who’s standing on the outside, I don’t think the market gotten less wacky, if anything, it gotten more wacky.

Because of this wackiness and you’re buying with a HUGE down payment, wouldn’t it be wise to wait it out, if it does drop 20% and you’d have 1 extra year to save, you might be able to pay for the house in cash. Wouldn’t you get the best deal w/ an all cash offer?

BTW, you don’t give people grief about their long-termedness, you give me grief when I talk about my my long term plans. Just like to point out the difference. I won’t return the grief back to you, since I don’t know you or your plans, I would have to take your word for it.

I won’t support it because I frankly can’t make sense out of much of this at this point.”

At least you included the part where I said “who knows?” Again, here I don’t, but I am curious what others think.
