Alpine needs a lesson or two about "integrity"

Perhaps the previous owner was someone famous.

virginai is LIB. Nice try.

If everything was about saving money, only an idiot would buy a car today. Car prices now are atleast $40,000 more than it was 3 years ago. It is all about what you can afford and just how luxurious you want to live your life. If you can afford to live in a better house why not buy one? This country is not a communist country. It is a capitalist country. This is a dog eat dog world. Someone will make a profit in the long run and there is nothing you can do about that.

When an analyst say there will be a 10% drop, that means in reality, it will just be a 5% drop. When someone says there will be a 50% drop, it means at most we are likely to have just a 25% drop. It is in the stat sheet. Go look them up. The doomers always tend to over-exaggerate on their numbers.

Do not mistake yourself with buying a house to make money. That is the wrong way of going about buying a house. A house is just a place to live. You should never be concerned about how much your house price have gone up like it is a piece of stock. NO!A house just happens to be one of those things where prices will always constantly go up. It just so happens that sometimes it goes up faster than other times so maybe that is why there are people out there who try to make quick buck and get hurt by it when house prices do not go up.A house is for family who need their own house to live in. It is a place to build a life long memory and create your own American dream. If you treat your house as some sort of money market, you do not need to buy a house. You should just go invest in stocks instead. If you love the house, if you can afford the house, then buy the house. It is a simple concept that these bubble-bloggers are making it confusing to first-time home buyers who desperately needs a place to stay.

Yeah, and those same houses, if they were to just live it out for another 10-15 years, they would have seen their house appreciated by more than 4 times what that home was worth.House prices will always go up regardless. It just takes time thats all.

Let me get you guys in on this. It is a logic that goes with almost all sorts of laws of economics.You should always buy when nobody is buying. And you should always sell when everyone is buying.This is the truth. What the other bubble-bloggers are telling you is just their way to vent-off their steam of regretting to buy a house back in 2000. If you want to know more about the basics of economics, go read a book at your local book stores. There are tons of subjects about this topic.

if you can't figure it out the logic on your own then i feel sorry for ya.

Once the iraq war is over, all the house prices will go up AND THAT my friend, is the historical truth.
