don’t you wish you could get a crystal ball that shows you what the housing market will be like in 1 to 2 years? I’m in the market as well, but it makes me nervous to buy with such a large foreclosure looming in the background and talks of additional price falls. At the same time, I don’t want to wait years and years, but nor do I want to be a “sucker”. We piggs have it tough…we think too much! There are times when I think that if I were more blissfully ignorant to the market indicators, we’d probably be happy living in our new homes already.

[quote=MANmom]I rent in PQ, there is a house on my block, it is big, nice back yard, nice area, turnkey, well kept, and it has been on the market since November. The problem? IT IS STILL WAY OVERPRICED!!! Most owners are still suffering from their self-imposed delusions. Lower the price and it will sell – hell, we might even buy it…just my two cents.[/quote]
If you don’t mind, can you post a link to this listing? I’m interested to see how nice it is and how much the list price is. And how much it ends up selling for when it eventually sells.

1. 4S hasn’t dropped much relative to other areas…I too think 5-10% is likely over the next 1.5yr. How much of a price drop would make you want to wait? Would you be willing to wait 1 year and save 5%?

2. $450 seems high to me, especially for a recurring cost. Some people don’t mind, but it’s a deal breaker for many.

3. I’m not fire expert, but wikipedia says:
4S is one of only five communities in San Diego designed and built according to strict “fire safe” construction standards. These standards resulted in not a single home being lost or even damaged in any of these communities during the October, 2007 fires which affected much of Southern California and burned over 2000 homes elsewhere throughout Southern California.
Sounds reasonably safe to me!

Be prepared for what it takes to complete a short sale. Keep us posted; I’m sure many of us are in the same situation and would be interested to know.
