ParticipantCY,
Sometimes there is a price to pay for being sensitive, astute and Fearless. Unfortnatley it usually hits the popularity issue.The good news is nobody has been banned from this blog since you have been ohterwise engaged. That is a wonderful testimony to free speech.IMHO.
We have however, picked up a couple of FBI lurkors as the result of a thread on Voting.
Going to take kids to a birthday party soon. Have fun.

ParticipantWow eccen that is terrible. Maybe moving is the deal. Your’e rights as a tenant aren’t going to make a big fight very rewarding. Bad renters on the other hand could give a landlord like yours a really bad time. They often get resentful and have to be evicted or do other payback type things.

Related to encouragement to wait. It seems like there are various ideologies regarding the “bubble correction” expressed on this blog. Some people seem to assume the correction will follow all historical economic norms. Some believe times are different now and there won’t be much of a correction at all. And some INSIST that a bust in the range of 50%-60% is also a sure thing.
I don’t see a problem with holding any of those opinions or even more extreme views.
What I wonder about is the lack of a commitment to “wait and see attitude” on the part of some posters/buyers.
We are almost all sure that the gears are slipping and equity and down payments will dissappear.From there the real deal to come is unpredictable. I think we might take that too lightly! The nature of what is happening doesn’t fortell stability in the slightest. Why not wait until the nature of what is happening shows a glimmer of hope for stability at least? How many people believed property could go up 200%,300% and even more in some cases, in a matter of less than a decade? How can we rule out something like only in reverse.I am sure the tone and content on this blog will be very different when it is a good time to buy or at least when the signs show that it is safer to enter the water,so to speak. I don’t think that topic will only last a nano second. We will probably be at it for months. Real estate is easy to time historically speaking, and compared to other market priced assets.The cost is poor liquidity.If you are liquid now it seems a bad time to pay that cost.

I think we will have to strike the mild mannered requirement for you drunkle. That is also why I left yours truly out.“the fact that you use the term “benevolent king” is scary. are you stalking me?”
I don’t get it and I don’t see any smiley faces..put the damn smiley faces if you want to talk about stalking :).

ParticipantPlease try to talk me out of buying.
Did you see the “weather channel” last night there is a giant meteor heading to Valley Center and it is going to crash there sometime in the “near future.” Scientist has not yet decided the definition or “near” so some home buyers are going ahead with their plans :).
Just trying ot help:
“But I think for me, my own home is more important than money or wise investments”. It doesen’t sound like you really mean this or..1) you might not have sold in 2005
2) You wouldn’t ask for help to stay on the sidelines.Unless you meant to say please DON’T talk me out of buying?
