Hope ya got a good deal,I look for a price adjustment before long.

Really I don't see where it matters if ya got what ya wanted.

Uhhh, My wife got what she wanted. We could've stacked cash by living in the condo for another year, but oh well. It was the right house at a pretty good price (the appraisal came back 45 K higher than we paid) and we still get that tax credit.

Making the little woman happy makes things simpler,and I agree with beans in that value is in the eyes of the beholder.

Exactly. I don't see why so many people are freaking out about being underwater. If you're not moving anytime soon, relax. As long as the domicile is providing the requisite amount of utility, let the good times roll.

Right...personally, I sold my townhouse and bought my single-family in 2006, right before the bubble burst. That means I got way too much for my TH, but the flip side is I overpaid for my SFH.

The good news is that we were buying a house for our kids to grow up in. We can live here for the next 25 years if we need to. I would hope that by then the market would have climbed back to a good level so I could sell if I want to.
