ParticipantFWIW, came across a list of things one should buy and not buy at Home Depot.

ParticipantIf it costs 600-700 a property, it may be easier to pull permits to still hold the sales down there.

Participant[quote=deadzone]Seems to me it is many of the recent homebuyers on here who are very sensitive and defensive about this subject, maybe a lot of them have buyer’s remorse?
As I’ve said many times, I don’t care which way the market goes as I am very happy where I am at, so that does not bias my opinions. My statements instead are based on facts and common sense. Regardless of what a certain realtor may “see” regarding the buyers interest not falling, the lagging sales numbers prove otherwise.[/quote]
FWIW – I have recently bought and am not sensitive or defensive. I tend to agree w/most of what you have said and I also appreciate SDR’s comments. It’s hard to be a winner here. I think if one is young enough, waiting it out is a better idea. I do not think we are at bottom in many ZIPs. OTOH, at a certain point one reaches an age where waiting will only take time and delay where you want to be and there’s no capturing that back. This is where I agree w/Rich and SDR. There is no size fits all.
[quote=deadzone]P.S. I realize none of this analysis pertains to sdr’s neighborhood, we all know that his is a very special and unique sub-market, completed unrelated to others where home values never decline.[/quote]
LOL. Of course. 😉

Participant[quote=AN]How can you live for free and be a mortgage slaves at the same time? Also, there’s nothing wrong with renting. Many of these people probably shouldn’t have been able to buy in the first place. So, there’s no change for them.[/quote]
Because they are living for free now, while the bank strings them along to an eventual outcome of short sale or REO that send them back to renting. The others may do a loan mod w/crazy terms and the remaining keep paying in the hopes they will see higher than peak prices soon. The latter two are the true mortgage slaves.
