I am a bottom fisher by inclination, for better or worse. Gawd made me a cheap bastid that loves a bargain investment, and the more everyone is positive that things are terrible, the more I am interested. So imagine my reaction when I find that the largest, nicest homes in my area appear to be asking (heh) at least 25% less than selling prices of two years ago. Meanwhile my own more modest home has held up better (maybe off 10%) and cash equity is not a problem.
Now I hate moving and don't really need a larger house, but visiting some friends who just bought a place larger than ours definitely got the wheels turning. I think inertia, the pain and expense of moving, and property taxes approaching a grand a month (gulp) have stopped me in my tracks. Is anyone else tempted to upgrade amidst the wreckage?
