OK Donald Trump. Where are you millions if you are so great at timeing real esate. If it is so predictable why isn’t everyone making money doing it. Many had tried and thought the smae way you did and are now losing money.

The reality is that for a small number of people thehome someone purchaes is an investmena and is only that at the time of purchase. 4 or 5 years later it is a home.

Case in point. If the majority of people saw home ownership s an investmetn there would ahve been a mass amount of home selling by people who own there homes outright. Why didn’t that happen. Becaseu they don’t look at there home as an investment.

Look a little outside the box and get out of you own perception of how things should be.

Overeating is bad for you health but people do it. Smoking is known to casue cancer but people smoke, drinking isn’t going to get you anywhere yet people drink. Homeownership is a decent investment for many becaseu it forces them to save when they have a 30 Year fixed rate mortgage.

Should it be an investment. Sure. But if someone make enbough money, buys within their means andis happy where they live and don’t want to move around and get in and out of realestate than homeonwership is not going to be seen a an investment to them. We can agree to disagree.

"Numbers oriented, mostly bitter, engineers. I must say goodbye, at least for a while, as the last week or so of threads has been an utter waste of time. I'll check back later to see if anything worthwhile pops up. "

I said to myself, the same thing! Nothing new, no more insight into what lies ahead, just alot of nonsense of a 70% deprication, RIDICULOUS!

Most folks here also, are very like minded in where they want to live and or their political beliefs. So they attack anyone who has a different opinion. (Sometimes just for fun because they have nothing better to do than blog on piggington) They feel they have an opinion on realestate,and that makes them experts on every topic. When they have no actual experience in what their writing about……..

Still, I check…….every once in a while there is something I can take away…..but I am more often finding other blogs much more informative…….disagree with alot less venom…….

Little Lady.

Ok ok. You win. Despite how basic math proves proves it's virtually impossible to go from Santee to LJ in 15minutes while drive at a sane speed, you win….. You have a Lotus, and you paid the CHP through the 11-99 foundation so they don't stop you when you make your daily 15minutes run between Santee and LJ. Geesh, just because some of us have basic math skills, you don't need to get all worked up about it.

Besides, aren't you yourself a renter???? Weren't you the one gloating over your neighbor about how screwed their going to get by overspending on their home, giving your hubby the high-5 all during while san diego was on fire? I remember that thread. Because it stuck out There are people who are bitter. And then again their are people just plain mean.

 

But why do you depend on blogs for information? Next thing your going to say is that you get investment tips from the yahoo finance message boards.

With regard to timeing the real estate market: The decline was foreseeable. It is however difficult to short real-estate. Much easier to short a stock. (IE buy a PUT. It increases in value as the underlying asset decreases)

Raybyrnes, for most first-time buyers in the last 3-5 years, a home has been an investment as well as a place to come home to. When the price of a home gets up to 50% or more of your entire lifetime’s earnings (excluding hoped-for investment gains) less expenses, then you have to consider it as an investment as well as a place to live.

Many people, perhaps like you, have saved enough, or have prior capital gains that are large enough, that current home prices don’t seem burdensome. For example, if I’d invested a halfway decent amount of money in real estate and the stock market starting in the 1980’s, I probably would feel like you do now, that buying a home even at today’s prices should be something I do if I really want to. Home prices don’t feel over-inflated if you’re paying with assets, or could pay with assets, that are also “over-inflated”. Easy come, easy go. It’s all Monopoly money that came easily, and you have enough of it so giving up chunks of it doesn’t feel painful.

For the rest of us that have no prior capital gains, and don’t earn huge salaries compared to the homes we want to live in, a home is our biggest investment, and we need to buy it when its price is low. Every $100K less we spend matters to us because it’s not Monopoly money to us.

Different psychology, depending on your situation.
