  • Just started the process to short sell my old place, prices have actually gone down in the are despite most of the country seemingly in an upward trend...

    Hopefully it works out will be nice to get this sunk fund off the books.

  • Still here, Tack. I hope and expect a housing rebound to continue. Like many, my house is my single biggest "investment" stake too, so I'm certainly rooting for it. :)

    I just think better news is priced into ETF's like IYR and ITB than will be justified in the coming months. That doesn't require that houses stop being built or start selling for 20% less, just a little miss on the 100% price increase that's been priced into those securities via expectation.
