And thanks for your perspective SD R and sdr…it is surprising how much interest there is in the SD housing market. Then again, maybe it’s not surprising knowing the crap to quality ratio of the inventory.

Now we have a large number of people– who are qualified by today’s stricter loan and financial standards– being kind to banks in return: these people are willing to go into decades of debt in order to purchase an immediately depreciating asset. Many have decried the bail-outs of banks; yet while the fed battles on the front line these people attack from the rear, armed with checkbooks! I hope it works out well for them and they don’t in turn need bail-outs. I also hope it works out well for the banks. The thing that scares me is, regardless of how qualified you are financially, when your asset is worth X and you owe XY (where Y > 1) as Y increases there will come a point when any sane person would walk away, perhaps to buy a bigger, cheaper house next door. Even today’s strict loan guidelines cannot prevent that.
Owners: maybe this is our last-chance rally! Should we sell? Hmmmmm…
