OT larrybaz housing
you said: I would, also, sell our current home and find a rental until the market came back to some semblance of normalcy.
I thought of doing that in the early 90's instead of buying a home in California. Could not see how the market could keep on going up. Bought the house anyway, it of course went down in value almost immediately. And then it took off. It is a hard game to play. Just like the stock market, except the commissions are much higher and you can't just hit a buy/sell button on the computer and do the deal instantly.
Move in to the house, take a deep breath and enjoy what you have... most people in the world don't have the pleasure of owning a nice home.
Friends of mine used to live in Scottsdale and told me it got so hot the steering wheel on their car actually melted, is that a reality?
