still some dummies out there

[Raybyrnes]

Maybe they bought their first home and found it was the best investment they ever made.

My parents keep telling me about how hey bought at the top of the market and 30 years later they are happy they bought when they did. They hate the idea of paying rent and just can’t get around the fact that they see it as throwing money away.

I have to tame them down with the same line of questioning. Are you a banker? No. Are you a CPA? No. Are you real estate professionals? No. So how are you qualified to make a credible reccomendation on the buy or rent decision? PAUSE “It worked for us.” Not all people can accept that times have changed.

Yes, and at some point there will be “dummies” out there selling their houses at the exact bottom, just like there was in 1997. Transactions happen.

So why are you watching the market?  Shouldn't you be enjoying your house? 

Buying or renting is a financing decision for most people.   You can rent or buy the equivalent place and have the same lifestyle.   Do you feel better if your car bought vs leased?  

NB, I own my house but i still think that buying now is the most stupid thing a family could do.

I also follow stock market, even though i won’t be cashing out until many years from now; I don’t care if it drops now as long as i make it out in the long term.
