Well good luck to you guy’s looking for that bottom, I don’t think I could time it myself.

Just remember the Pigs (not pigg’s) get slaughtered rule works in both directions.[/quote]

That’s because you bought already. Didn’t you buy in Temecula at a high, before the financial meltdown?

Pigs get slaughtered much worse buying at the high than as prices creep up from the trough.

Funny how those who already own their residences like to claim “you can’t time the bottom”, “it’s not about money”, etc…

I think that life is about trying for the best. There’s nothing wrong with aiming high (or low as in bottom fishing). Just be prepared to take your lumps if you fail.[/quote]

Yea I did buy a little early , I could have got the same home for about 60K less maybe if I waited until February this year, but I was also able to make a few investments in January and February this year that were at a very good price in my opinion.

I just wonder how many of you will end up not buying anything during the next 5 or so years ..

Wasted time ?? it’s all in how you look at it I guess,

The issue with Downtown San Diego is that it’s built around Conventions and Tourism. You have a bunch of hotels and restaurants catering to expense accounts.
This makes it very expensive for a city where many of it’s inhabitants that work government jobs and healthcare.

[quote=briansd1]I can still purchase at the bottom since I don’t believe that the trough was reached yet. [/quote]

[quote=briansd1][quote=FormerSanDiegan]
Using the same logic, can I sell at the top if I don’t believe the top has been reached yet ?[/quote]

Yes, you can.

[/quote]

OK, if I take what was written literally, so long as one believes the bottom is not in, one can still sell at the bottom. Same goes for selling at the top. So, how do I list my property for sale in the alternate realty that consists of those who have suspended their belief. I want to get in on that one.

You can list your property on the “non-distress” market as long as you want.

Many sellers are doing that. They still price their houses at 2005, 2006 levels.

The problem is that they won’t find any buyers at those prices. But try they do, still. A seller only needs one knife catcher. That’s all it takes.

Another problem are the appraisals which are undoing many deals.
