People always seem to come across as super stupid and unbelievable whenever people write dialogue on this board. Everyone on here must have a lot of dumb friends.

In any case, I know people that think it's an investment because they can build equity and buy something cheaper when circumstances change.

I don't see it that way, because I'm living in the house I expect to live in until I die, but I guess others don't mind the idea of downsizing in their retirement years.
