Just a comment: We and many others do not think of our home as an "investment" as some have called it here, especially in the current national economy and housing market. It could be decades before home prices come back up to the prices at which they were selling in most places in the mid- to late-1990's.
That's part of the reason many of us down-sized when we bought here, into a comfortable, sturdy, sensible home/CYV in the 175,000 to 215,000 range.....one that is in a reasonable price range for reselling...a range that many potential buyers can afford to buy and pay taxes on.
This thread and the topic can sound ominous and discouraging to potential newbies/buyers/wannabe's. If you're worried about your "investment", it would be a good idea to not scare buyers with pure conjecture about what truly is unknown at this point in time.
