Hi Tim:Who is that cool-looking guy in the photo sporting the goetae eating Top Ramen so that he can afford to pay his mortgage?Congratulations Tim! You waited a lot of years for this moment, and I suspect you will get a lot of joy from your purchase. I understand your desire to buy, because I'm in a similar situation as you. I've been on the fence for years and have made several offers. Fortunately since I'm a horrific low-baller, the sellers have saved me from my weakness. Prices will continue down for a while. What ultimately occurs will have more to do to the national economy and less to do with Seattle itself (note in your charts how the tax credit caused similar patterns across the nation). There are still many factors at play that will matter. Fiscal and monetary stimulus, foreclosures, unemployment, lending standards, the state of Fannie, Freddie, inflation vs. deflation, the global economy, China, Europe, local factors In short, if the U.S. economy can heal, you'll lose less money on your purchase decision. You managed to buy when mortgage rates were really low, so that will offer you some protection (if you don't move within 10-years). Now you just have to figure out if you want to pay an extra $500/mo. on the mortgage in order to whack the principal in a hurry, or bet on inflation and use future dollars to pay off the loan (assuming you took out a big ol' loan).We knew you were cracking Tim. It started coming out in your posts. There is no such thing as a good time to buy, only your time to buy. Yeah, we screamed and yelled that prices were still correcting, and the fundamentals were not right for a bottom. But we knew that hot redfin money was flowing in faster than house prices were falling, so it didn't matter to you. As much as you are banking from The Fin, why not?Personally, I'd like to wait another year or so before pulling the trigger. We'll see what happens. :) Rate this comment: 0 0
