How the hell have mortgage conditions gotten ‘better’? I hope he means tighter lending standards signal a return to fundamentals, which will be ‘better’ for everyone in the future.
Can I suggest that jumbo loan application approvals will probably decrease, and there will be a mad rush for sellers to lower there asking prices below $417k? Maybe it isn’t that simple…

PortlockParticipantI don’t believe that most renters on this site missed anything, why would missing out on ‘madness’ be considered upsetting?
This massive market correction proves that I didn’t miss out originally and sound financial discipline has ensured that I won’t be missing out when the madness has subsided, neither.
If I could do it over again you ask? Hindsight is always twenty-twenty, blah blah. Honestly though, I (literally) never bought into the idea that home ownership could be achieved without prudent living and a diversified portfolio. Once I set myself to a lifestyle that would supply that, I simply disregarded real estate and didn’t spend any mental energy on it.
Now, slow and steady has won the race, and although I’m peeved, this bailout which, to quote the professor, is “rewarding the reckless and punishing the prudent”, will only delay my virginal entry into a corrected market as a first time buyer (and I tell you, it is something I’m looking forward to 🙂

PortlockParticipantI’m thankful I didn’t purchase in the face of frenetic hype, that here I have a group of cool, level heads I can hear from, and my future home is something to look forward to.
