The only question in my mind is how far do prices actually fall and/or how long do prices stay flat for inflation to absorb the difference between their real worth and current market price. Either way i feel bad for anyone who paid that upfront, again likely more, 6 months ago.

Claeren.
so you are in the camp that prices are coming down?

with that said, if i am selling in the same market, will it really matter if i sell and buy on the way down or not? my property in theory will track what i am buying ... so even if i wait for the market to correct, my current house will also get the correction and i am no further behind or ahead.

right?
