Now with that said, we all know that TV will always stay a little a head of others but still prices will not go as some seem to think.
Buying power is being decreased on a daily basis, retirements are being elimiated or decreased, health care will do nothing but increase cost out of pocket plus....

So do you really think you need to rush into something? I wouldn't rush and be sorry, just take time, there will always be a good buy. We have bought and sold 17 places in our life, some in good times and some in bad times.
Just like stocks, in the long run they all worked out and dollar wise never losted money on anyone, just watch for the people who price to the market not to there emotions.

Good Luck and as much as you want to be here don't jump and be sorry. Take your time and it will come.

AJ, you are a "breath of fresh air" and your comments are where I think we will be heading, which is wait until things are a little more definite with my dear MIL (mom-in-law).

We can pay down a few more bills, and continue with "dejunking" our place here. Worked on my side of the closet yesterday!

Everyone's comments are really helpful and TOTV is a powerful tool for wannabees, gonnabees, snowflakes, snowbirds, and frogs alike!! Never realized we were "snowflakes" until PTurner clued me in!!
