“And you can’t tell me that there is a major bias to this site. ”

I can tell you there is a major bias – a bias towards looking at data and using it to make good decisions.

When the market turns the other way, watch this space to see it coming well ahead of time.

“Most of the people on this site are up to their neck in debt. I heard about this site from a handful of people, and all of them are bitter cash poor renters. ”

In the name of “looking at data” I have to call you on this one. You have no clue of the financial make-up of the posters on this site. Is 1 handful a statistically significant sample size?

Come on you guys – have you learned nothing from this web page?

The time to buy a house is when the leading indicators and other fundamentals start to show that prices have some strong upward pressure on them.

I mean – why even bother putting a stake in the ground now and saying things like “I’m waiting until prices drop 40%” or “I’ll buy when we get to 2002 prices” or “I’m waiting until 2010” when you really have no idea how far it will go or how long it will take.

Every month, look at the numbers – months of inventory, sales growth, forclosure trends, the availability of credit, interest rates, the cost of rent vs, wages (especially your own), the money you have saved for a down payment – and decide on a month-to-month basis if this is the month to buy.

Right now I can say that Nov 2007 isn’t the month for me to buy.

In the meantime, save, save, save so you have the down payment that you will need in order to qualify for a loan in the tight (but loosening) credit market that you will encounter when the time to buy is right.

Just because you are ineligible for insurance under her plan doesn’t mean you can’t get insurance or a long-term care plan and just pay monthly for it.

I was in in Palo Alto in 1989.
Anything less than 7 is a yawner.

Seriously, though, the one thing I’ve noticed about earthquakes is that 99.9% of everthing is completely unaffected, and the .01% is what the news spens 99% of its airtime showing you.

Not sure what an earthquake alarm is going to do for you. Even the long ones only last 30 seconds. By the time it is over, you will barely be coherent. Best to just open your eyes, say “wow, an earthquake,” and go back to sleep.
