I don't place much importance on "bubbles" unless you're looking at
buying a house STRICTLY as an investment. A home for your family is a
good investment anyway if you get a tax break on it, whether or not
there is a bubble coming your way. So, it really depends on your
REASON for buying or not buying.

I don't know ANY single women who are buying into the interest only
mortgage, Mark. That's for couples. :-) One of my dearest friends
(who works as a massage therapist) saved $30,000. for her down, and
purchased a house that was within her means. So, again, you are
speculating.

I'll just pick it up when the market drops by 30% (or more).

You do that, Mark.

Women don't generally buy diamonds as investments, Mark. They buy
jewlery based on aesthetics. They save their investment dollar
for..investments. :-)

????? Bill Clinton survived two terms in office and an impeachment
process that made his accusers look bad.

Don't say goodbuy so soon, Mark. Since we are the ONLY western
civilization not yet addressing national health care, it's only a
matter of time. Isn't evolution wonderful.
