I think the problem is that we are living on planet Insanity, where Good is Bad, Up is Down, and falling prices God forbid are HORRIBLE I tell you. Which as you point out, are in fact good things. But yes, the powers that be don't want the little people to catch on to this. BUT, they ARE. And that my friend is the problem. The average Joe Sixpack is getting it! And that spells trouble for the US and World economy. But long term- IT FRIGGIN ROCKS! It's the end of the world as we know it, AND I FEEL FINE!

peace out

Anyway, overall a pretty good post, but in the future, please try to stick to the facts a little better. It would help your argument even more.

No way, my local realtor told me that the bottom will be within a year or two. And who would no better.

I bought my house in 2007 for 150K, paid cash. 3 year old house, so no real maint costs and I have USAA for homeowners insurance- cheap . total cost to own= opportunity cost on 150K,( say 3% cd) $375 month, Taxes are $242 month, insurance = $68 month, maint, ok mabe 1/2%= $62 month, Total monthly cost to own= $748 month. Cost to rent comparable 3 bd/2 1/2 bath house= $950.
And to top it all off, I'm 1 hour west of Madison WI, rated the #1 best job market by Forbes and business week.
Thank God I left Southern California. I LOVE Wisconsin. and yes it does snow, but there's a new invention called all wheel drive with heated seats.

I'm glad I have a house in Wisconsin that cost me $150K where the identical house in California would be twice that much.

Now I just need to get some voice practice, "Welcome to Walmart, can I get you a cart".]]> Mon, 05 Jan 2009 23:22:25 -0500

Figuring that I would make at best 2.5% on my 150K in a cd and my prop taxes of 2900 yr, I am spending $553 a month to live in a 4 year old, 3 bd/3ba house.

I can't rent for less than that. Therefore, I don't understand all this talk about how bad the housing market in the US is these days.

Maybe people need to leave the big cities and move out to the country. Although, I am only 1 hour west of Madison WI, which has one of the best job markets in the US.

the kin folk said Jed, move away from there, so I loaded up my car and left

California, the place I used to believe.

I now live in Wisconsin where the air is nice and clean, I traded in my jag

for a more practical machine- Deere that is, John Deere, Green, Yellow,

it gets me the new black gold- food.

Glad to be living in Spring Green WI.

The biggest lie sold to Americans was that Home OWNERSHIP was a desired thing. But in FACT, if the bank holds a mortage on your house, you are NOT a homeowner and in FACT are RENTING- but from the bank and paying more for the "privilege". Stupid is as stupid does. And now our "smart" government wants to cure the problem of too much easy money, with what? More easy money, lol. Fools we are, I tell ya, fools. God bless America? Maybe not. But a fool and his money are soon parted. ]]> Mon, 24 Nov 2008 08:17:21 -0500
