ParticipantI am in a similar situation with Angela. I am looking to buy, but with only 10% down – in PUSD. The voice of prudence says to save 20% down and buy in 3-4 years from now so that I won’t have PMI. I CAN put 20% down if I take a home loan from my 401K. Either way if I buy now I would take a risk since I won’t have much left in cash reserves. ANd who knows about job stability? Mine would never be more certain than a couple of years at a time…
If I wait a few years the houses I wanted may not change that much in price, but the monthly payment would have increased by a lot due to the rates increase – and they would have become once again unaffordable for me. So as a buyer I would continuously chase the market, having to settle for much less and throwing money on rent down the drain.
I do agree that those will be good things, only I lament that I’ve been caught in the middle – they should’ve had those measures in place YEARS ago (or rather, maintain them).

ParticipantI wonder how long is going totake to make those changes happening, and how much longer will take for prices to respond – i.e. go down significantly?
