The year Iwog and Robert declare personal bankruptcy. Probably around 2015 or 2016 IMHO. Good luck out there. Gold and Swiss Francs over splitting wood and rusty nails.

rentingwithhalfabrain, I bought 8 of my homes with cash. Since you are apparently really stupid, i'll help you out: even if they all drop to $0, I'm still not bankrupt...

Then don't laugh at this chart.... it might make you cry...
Which is why you won't be seeing a recovery in the housing market anytime soon (like next spring)......

Phoenix prices are up 30% year over year...How much up do you need, ladies and gentleman, to call it a recovery? even at that, we still have less than 2 months supply, and under $150k, around 3 weeks supply... Prices are increasing as we speak, with only legacy short sales approved a long time ago, weighing down the statistics. The sale detailed below was approved over half a year ago, when prices where much cheaper...
So glad I didn't listen to you guys last year! I just closed my 13th home yesterday, $60K short sale, 4 bedrooms 2 baths 2 car garage, tenant staying in it at $850 a month, which is a bit low for the area, but that way I don't have to recondition the home for at least a year, maybe years...

I own a house. I'm very happy with the house. The house is worth more than I paid for it.
All housing is local, so a chart like that means nothing to me.

Yea, but to be up 30% it first had to crash and burn down 75% from the peak..... many areas of the country haven't crashed half that much.
You still have 55% underwater, that's why you have a limited inventory...

I'm happy that your happy, but Monterey, CA isn't the nationwide housing market, and nationwide, the market sucks...
Of course all housing is local, but in the wide picture, the picture don't look so great!!!

And neither does it look anywhere near as bad as many like to paint it on here.
