re:uujudy

With any luck it won't be either me or my wife who will be concerned with the ultimate (10-20yr) value of our house. At our stage in life the house is a home, not an investment.
It's nice to make a good deal, but having a nice property and being able to enjoy it is equally important.

re: rshoffer

I would guess their might be some sellers very amenable to do a lease/puchase deal or some variation thereof. When you consider the ancillary costs of owning, a long-term lease in a declining market makes a whole lot of sense. With an option to buy at market, even better.
