While in concert with your thoughts what remains is to determine the "when" this will happen. Right now there so many economic cards in the air that many dare not speculate on the certainty of the date. James, Haven't done the calculation but there is a value crossover between paying rent and slowly increasing your equity even in a down market. Nicalisa,

Haven’t done the calculation but there is a value crossover between paying rent and slowly increasing your equity even in a down market.

Are people waiting what will happen in the new year? Yup. Will people in droves be listing in the spring? Yup! Will people still buy homes? Yup! Maybe only 50% of what was bought last year. Maybe for less $$$ and Maybe only the homes that show well and are in good repair. So the note to buyers is to price well, show well, and be prepared to wait.

Sorry, I won't be able to stop in and say Hello. It's on my list of no-go eateries. I am however, impressed with your zeal as a true blue corporate employee. As noted midway in your comment, I'm impressed that you would go to such lengths to keep your job. Was it really necessary to change your last name? Joe – formerly known as MacIntosh ,
