ParticipantRemember, prices of homes that are for sale aren’t comps. Actual sales are comps, and those are what drive prices down – not the fantasies of sellers.
There are some intelligent sellers to be found, with significant, regular price drops on their listings.

With 20% down, including taxes and HOA, the payment on that puppy is less than what it would rent for.

Patience…Participant[quote=kewp]I’m actually cheering on a recession/depression as I think drastic cut in consumption on a global scale is the only thing that will save us from total environmental catastrophe. [/quote]
Nothing will save us from environmental catastrophe, if that’s what the planet has planned for us. I’m all for reducing harmful emissions to zero, but unfortunately, A) that won’t happen anytime soon without a near collapse of civilization (in which case many Piggs would likely be dead), and B) even if it did happen, it won’t stop the planet from going through its cycles. At some point, we WILL go extinct, unless we first get a substantial number of people off this rock.
I think most people are a little stressed about the future. But other than the Mad Max scenario, I like to think there’s also a possibility that this economic upheaval will eventually be seen as the point of a profound change for the better. An efficient, intelligently-run government that doesn’t stick its nose where it doesn’t belong, and doesn’t bow to corporate interests. A guy can dream.
However, even if that happens, there can be no sense of safety until the end of widespread Islamic extremism. How (or if) that will happen is anyone’s guess. Maybe the start will be when the need for oil dries up, and certain middle eastern countries who’s cultures never evolved (but which are artificially propped up by money) will go back to the stone age where they belong, and leave the rest of us in peace.
That was way too profound for 9am. All I really meant to say was, “legalize it.”

Participant[quote=CBad]I was embarrassed and filled with disgust for both of them last night. I just cannot believe this is the best we came up with and the two choices we have to chose from.[/quote]
This is the reason I find myself unable to watch the debates. Half the time I would spend cringing while they humiliate themselves and the country, and the other half getting more and more angry at the policies of both.
I spend a lot of time now looking at housing and employment in Europe. I’m not quite ready to commit to that yet, but it’s no longer out of the question.
