We Bought a House!

I know that over the last couple of years I have been one of the most ardent bears relative to the real estate market. But I want to share with the small handful of readers that I've got left that as dour as I have been, my family and I just took the plunge and bought a very nice house in Huntington Beach. Nice property, great location, saved hundreds of thousands by avoiding the peak...kids and the wife are very happy.

I may have bought before the bottom, I may have been slightly late. I may be making a great hedge against inflation, I may not be as well. At the end of the day, none of that really matters. I am just happy that I finally get to live in a house and in a neighborhood that I really like and for less than it would cost me to rent. What's not to like?

I must say we are feeling we have been passing the bottom also. In Bergen County New Jersey, it is a high end market. The highest side of the market has been hurt the most. the lower side has been hurt but has a constant bid now. The high side must be priced very aggressive to get sold and the extreme high end super aggressive.
However, we are moving homes now.
I hope you do well on your purchase. I think you will!

Congratulations! Who cares about the bottom or the inflation if you got your ideal property? Besides, the real battle is in the upkeep.
