I'm sure that the 'hit' you took is small in comparison to the 'hit' that many took in 2000-2003 in their 401(k)s and other investments. It's not just housing prices that work agasinst us when we contemplate retirement. You can't look back, you just have to move forward and invest as best you can.

I see too many people saying that they are going to wait for the housing market to improve so they can recoup their investment. In the mean time the housing market in TV will improve and probably faster because of pent up demand. You've done the right thing. Enjoy!
