Unless you’re comfortable camping out in your car or your place of work…

πI thought about doing that. Showering at the gym, putting a mattress in the back of a pickup… Food might be more expensive.
Can’t pull the trigger on that with the wife and kid though.
Going back to your point, I see your apples to oranges comparison. Money will be going somewhere. Plus, there are a lot of factors. Living with in-laws comes to mind. Noisy neighbors, chalk outline on the street, etc.

Anyway, it’s irrelevant of what folks I think or other folks think what home prices will/won’t go to.
I have a target range that I’m willing and able to afford a home that i want for my next purpose, game on. Otherwise, pass. I’m not going to wait for the magic “bottom” because who knows where that will end up or how long. I could be dead by then..
[/quote]
Maybe you wouldn’t wait for a bottom, but if you know the price-point will move downward in a couple months, would you wait? I think most people would. Some wouldn’t.I waited to get an LCD monitor for my computer when they first came out. Knowing they would come down in price eventually. Is it cheaper now, from when I bought mine? Sure, but I think the price has leveled off some.
When people are comfortable buying again, they will buy. Personally, I don’t think the majority of folks are anywhere near that point.
On a side note, has anyone seen the prices for houses near lake Perris? Four year old homes are in the $50/sq ft range. Can they get cheaper than that? I know it’s Perris, but still…
