We have decided to be brave and Rent. Although rents have come down some it is still outrageously expensive to rent is a nice area , and I am not talking Beverly Hills I mean the San Fernando Valley. A three bedroom in reasonable condition is on the low end 2800 a month. If we wanted Sherman oaks or studio city it would be over 3000. I see as rentals some of the houses that were for sale last year and what is depressing is our monthly payment with an FHA 3.5% loan would be lower, and I would not have to live with dirty carpet and some one else's idea that burnt orange walls is style. Although I do believe that renting is the right decision in the long run I completely understand why many people in our position would just buy even with the uncertainty. So if anyone knows where to find a good priced rental or can tell me what coordinates with burnt orange I would appreciate it.

I did and am glad. Try the Tucson area if you want a cooler climate then Phoenix. We have some great homes here too. Check out the prices on Realtor.com.

I admire your patience and persistence. I am in the same boat. I know some people who bought in the past two years because "oh gosh it was such a bargain" and now they are sorry. I am going to wait. Wait for a real estate decline and then buy. I really don't know what is the hurry with some people. But if they want to go ahead and buy more power to them. Martin, way to go!!!

I have tried to articulate the same thing. I am one of those people, sitting on 600K cash refusing to buy a 600K dump when I know I can move to Phoenix and buy in the best neighbor hood of Phoenix a sprawling cream puff 3500sq foot house, built in the 50's, on a 20,000 sq foot lot with a swimming pool and guest cottage for the same price of a San Diego Dump. I will wait another couple years as a renter here in San Diego , if prices don't come back to reality rather than uying a 600K dump I will choose the 600K sprawling beauty in the best school district of Phoenix.

The fact that a few underwater homeowners get a leg up because of it in completely unintentional. Please direct you fervor to where it's deserved: Our bankers.
