Timing the real estate market is similar to timing the stock market. Hard to catch it at the bottom.

Village agents have been saying for years that "prices for new homes may not get lower". Obviously it is beyond their control and they're giving you the party line.

We bought 1 1/2 years ago and like Sidney Lanier, managed to find a real bargain with the bond paid.

In spite of the fact that prices have been decreasing, it is the best decision we've ever made. How can you put a price on a year in Paradise? None of us are getting any younger.
