ParticipantScardey, I used to think you needed medication but now I think a holistic approach would be better.
Let’s face it, caution is good, fear gets in the way. You need a life event that will demote you to “caution cat.” Your fear of real estate is just one of many things you are afraid of. In reality, you already rent in the Temecula Valley, so half off is child’s play up here, most of the people you are talking to would love to have 50% off peak and homes equal to or less than rent. It isn’t a matter of you relocating here, you already rent here, not buying out of fear is silly, you are losing money renting and this window will close soon if it hasn’t already. They are in a different boat, you use their feelings of 10% or 20% below peak and their frustrations with SD to make you not feel afraid, but their fear is rational, yours isn’t.
So here is what I suggest you do before you end up like Kevin Spacey’s Character in American Beauty. Just go skydiving. No Tandem Jumps, just a good old school jump out of an airplane by yourself with a rip cord that will pull your shute because you will more than likely black out from the fear. It will feel like the longest flight you ever took, nobody will push you, you will have to overcome your fear and jump out of a perfectly good airplane. When you land safely on the ground, you will never look at life the same way, it’s like getting HD tv, or high speed internet, there’s no turning back once you’ve mastered your fear. Maybe you still won’t buy a house or the hundred other things you are afraid of, but at least it wont be out of fear, it can be judgment at that point. You’ll sleep better too.

ParticipantAfter what Eugene wrote I decided to read the actual report too.
I read the executive summary, I’m not reading the 200 page report, but I read enough to see that the author of the originally linked article made a few word changes to meet their goal. If you read the blog below the article, it’s all political, very little about economics, just the generic “I hate Obama” stuff.
The guy says that we as taxpayers have a greater risk than ever before, so we should put in some rules and safeguards now otherwise we will run the risk of causing another bubble. The next time it wont be our money helping, it will be entirely our money. It makes sense. What doesn’t make sense is how his words are translated into what people are commenting on. This is starting to feel like a “Reverse Lereah.”
I’m coining a new phrase, a “Reverse Lereah” is when no matter what people say or do, regardless of the data, everything indicates further housing price declines and overall economic decline. David Lereah was the National Association of Realtors chief economist during the bubble and he was like Bagdad Bob, give him any quote or piece of data and he would tell you how that proves real estate will go up. If you read deeper you could see where he twisted or overlooked something intentionally, now I’m seeing the same behavior by doom and gloomers.

ParticipantActually they aren’t taking anyone down, they are going to make a killing off this thing. If I had any faith in them, I’d say it was a masterful plan, but I think it’s just luck. The gov’t has bought quite a bit of this market (r/e, insurance, mbs) and those investments dont need to return to bubble levels for this to pay off, they just need to uptick a bit and stabilize somewhere between bubble and bottom, which they are well on their way to doing.
This is a casino game where the dealer always wins and one of the only games where you can bet on the dealer. They prefer it when everyone wins a little cause they tax the winnings.
If they can make a decent electric car over at government motors, they will have enough money to buy everyone health insurance. Maybe they did plan it? Naw.

Participant[quote=jeeman]What is a grotto-style jacuzzi?[/quote]
It’s where the jacuzzi is kinda in a cave, it can have a variety of manifestations. A half cave, like you are in a mini hollywood bowl, a 3/4 cave where you have a wide opening, or a full blown igloo looking thing, some without a visible entrance, you have to swim through a waterfall (very johnny quest like), or enter through a walking tunnel on the side. Many have a shelf in the back where you can get out of the water but be out of view. They appear in most rap videos, there’s usually scantilly clad women strewn about. They are commonly built into slopes, the rock formation in ox’s design looked like it may be one.
sd, so you are saying that there is quite a distance from the house to the pool, so, hypothetically, if someone were to sit in his jacuzzi, smoke a cigar and watch a laker game, on let’s say some random tuesday night, he wouldn’t even know, hypothetically that is.
