      If I took a survey of commonly used listing phrases in the past 7 years, “priced out forever” would probably rank right up at the top. I think everyone on this boards knows better.

  So what are all the former realtors doing these days, anyways ?
  
  We paid them like 90k over the years.
  One of the ladies had a pony…
  I am wondering what they are now up to…
  
  Well, whatever. It’s late in the old world already.

    Well either this Realtor is super smart or just lucky, while he does not say prices will always rise, he does say the longer a buyer waits the more difficult it will be to buy a home. In some ways thats true, if back a couple of years ago you could borrow $500K at 4.5% = $2,500/mo payment and prices drop say 10% to $450K but rates are now at 6.25% = $2,700/mo payment, so in that respect he is right takes a bigger paycheck to buy the place. I dont know about downtown SD but prices state wide have not yet dropped 10% have they?
