Participant2009 saw DE-flation. 2010 so far has seen pretty “normal” inflation, around 2.5%/yr at most.
I’m not really a Bernanke fan, but I’m glad that the Fed is planning what to do if the recovery falters or inflation takes off.

ParticipantJust don’t be one of those people who buy in PB and then complain about the party crowd. I have a former co-worker who did just that. Bought a condo near Garnet and the beach when he was still going to bars, less than 6 months later he was complaining about them being loud, drunk, and peeing on his property.

ParticipantGetting a better leash he can’t get free of would probably make people more comfortable. Consider getting a muzzle for situations where the dog will be out in public. It may not seem “fair” to the dog, but if your primary concern is the comfort of others, it may be a necessity.
The majority of Pit Bulls are well mannered, perhaps slightly “spunky” dogs. Many do have some aggression problems with other dogs, but so does my Lab. Generally other dog owners should be understanding, although you do get the occasional stupid owner who walks their dog off-leash and gets upset when their “friendly” dog runs up to a less friendly dog and the two get in an argument.
The flip side is Pit Bulls and Rottweilers are responsible for over 50% of dog caused human fatalities. Part of this is probably self-selection, as bad owners who want to train their dog to fight or to attack intruders are more likely to pick a Pit Bull. Pit Bulls do have a reasonably fair reputation of being fiercely loyal but territorial and distrusting of strangers.
So in general your options are a muzzle or to really engage in a PR campaign to get your neighbors to meet your dog so they can see it as an individual rather than just another Pit.

ParticipantTrying to time the bottom perfectly is a difficult game. While there is a national and regional real estate market, the market for certain neighborhoods and streets can very a bit from overall trends. An individual property might be priced to sell to the point it’s still a good value.
Homes also do have some subjective value. If a home is ideal for your family’s needs and you would be really happy living there, AND you can afford it, it might not make sense to hold out hoping for a better deal. No place will be absolutely perfect in all ways.
I guess the other important thing to keep in mind is we’re not going to see another 40-50% drop like from the September ’05 bubble peak. A 5% dip in the next year could be made up a lot faster than homes bought in ’05 that likely won’t break even for a decade.
