Weak housing market? I don't think so....

[JKnight]

I have no doubt this is specific to certain markets and price ranges. We are looking in the sub-225k arena. I'm sure we would have an easier time in the upper end, but I'm not at that point in my 28 year old life yet. I'm content with that though, as it's really my hobbies and friends that make my life fulfilling, not my house. Plus, I'm ok with trying my hand at household renovation since the Camaro is finished...to some extent.

When it comes down to it though, a significant percentage of the country lives in, and is shopping for, homes that are in the range in which we are shopping. The dollar value of that home will obviously vary by region, as we all know Phoenix's $200k is California's $350k (or more). Given that, I continue to be surprised at the fervor in this portion of the market.
