LinnandLinda:* You're probably in pretty good shape with your timing.* By most accounts, the market in this region will begin to improve in 2009...you'll probably be a bit on the upswing...with at least some glimmer of optimism by then.* ...but then again, a year ago the "experts" said that we would be recovering by now... :dontknow:*
My saving grace is knowing that over the past 7 years, I lived rent free and will still come out ahead even if I do sell in the current "down" market (down about $150K from the 2005 peak.)* "Down" is relative from the paper high.* Can't look back like Chad and Jeremy (I think):* "...and that was yesterday, and yesterday's gone..."*
