If, psychologically, you can only buy after prices after increased, then I suggest you consider a dollar-cost averaging program offered by most mutual fund companies. Buy a fixed dollar amount every month, and don’t change the amount often – maybe adjust a little once a year.

[quote=Nor-LA-SD-guy][quote=patientrenter]I ain’t buying until prices for decent places in decent areas that I’d be happy to live in get closer to 1996 prices plus wage inflation. Right now these prices are still double to triple the adjusted 1996 level.[/quote]

Depends on the Area I think, in T.V. (which is a good enough area for me anyways) I think they are way below 1996 plus wage inflation (minimum wage does not count, there have never been a lot of minimum wage earners buying homes — 2003-6 being the exception).

And I still say although the area may not be at the absolute bottom, it’s close enough that it won’t matter in ten years (except bragging rights).

Sure if Carlsbad starts selling 3000+sqf homes for 400K, I will turn my T.V. home into a rental and move but I feel I am covered (happy with my T.V. home) if it does not get that low.

It takes all of about 45-50 minutes to get to the beach I like (in OC) on the few hot day’s I want to be outside and I have never had an electric bill over $125 dollars and I am not stingy with the AC during the summer.

But to each their own.

Fair enough. TV prices look good right now. But I’d like to go swimming off the beach every morning after b’fast. Too far for me.

Not bad, Ren. Beats Nova Scotia. Sure looks good value compared to a lot of places in California and the rest of the US. If you visit, please post more info. I just came back from a visit with relatives on the coast in the south of France. Not as expensive as I’d guessed, but not cheap either. The Greek islands look more reasonable. Any catches you’re aware of? South of France was very civilized.

Prices of stocks are a lot higher now than back in March, and that makes you want to buy now instead of in March? Sounds like you’re following the “buy high, sell low” strategy. I don’t recommend it.
