Most living here did not buy "as an investment"...

They bought a place to spend their "golden years" in comfort and in the lifestyle they wanted...

If your house appreciates, what are you going to do with the money? Other than give it to your kids/grandkids?

Last I checked, I've never seen a Brinks truck in a funeral procession...

Buy what you can afford, let the market do what it does...
