    U.S. house prices “likely would have to fall considerably” to return to a normal relationship with rents, says a study by one former and two current Federal Reserve economists.

    The study, which doesn’t necessarily reflect the views of Fed policy makers, suggests prices would have to fall 15% over five years, assuming rents rose 4% a year. House prices would have to fall further if the adjustment took place more quickly.

    I am glad that I waited to buy

    It is cheaper to rent than buy now. In a few years will be good time to buy if market continues to downturn.

    Why not feed the troll? I put my cutting remarks to an anonymous person and my secretary gets someone who’s all mellow.

    Pretty much some profanity on the road during rush hour and a nice acerbic post on a forum and I’m then incredibly nice to my co-workers. Works for me.

    WOW! Reading these very unhappy posts sure makes me glad we bought all of our San Diego properties waaaaaaay before 2000! At least 80% of San Diego homeowners would never consider paying the exhorbitant rents OR mortgage payments OR property taxes that have been referenced here.
    Talk about stupid!!
