ParticipantYeah, but I’ve been saying give it another year for over five years now. If I could convince the spouse to move we would be gone by now. Long gone. Just turned 40 this year, always been a renter, and the prospect of still paying a mortgage when I’m over 70 doesn’t sound too wonderful. Looking at other areas, though. There’s a lot available within a 15 minute drive under 300k. If I do give it another year, I’m sure we’ll be able to find something around 200k within a 15-mile radius of city center.

ParticipantAlthough I wouldn’t consider trying to buy a house for at least another couple years, it is frustrating to watch realtors and sellers holding desperately to their extremely unrealistic prices. There are houses in our neighborhood (Normal Heights) still priced at 2005 levels. An offer of 25% on these houses would only be 5% off true value, considering values here have already dropped 20%. Some says offers like this “insult the intelligence” of the seller and agent. Really? I would consider it much more of an affront to my intelligence to expect me to pay half-a-million dollars for an 800-square-foot bungalow four blocks from a rough neighgborhood. No problem, though. I’ll continue to rent until it’s the same price to buy. By late 2010 the San Diego median will be in the low to mid $200s. If I’m wrong, I’ll keep renting. Not the end of the world.
