unable to participate in this latest housing 'boom' / or 'uptick'. In some areas, there has been some pricing retreats, so there may be some good news for first time home buyers, but I think it's still going to be a challenge for these people (lst timers). Good grief, I doubt that I could ever find a house for the price I got my first home in 1980, not even close. Home prices in this neighborhood have gone up roughly 10 times what they were back then.

And I won't ever have a mortgage on it, never believed in them, don't want the danger of having one, and then having to answer to another landlord, so to speak (the mortgage holder). One must be on top of things, be strict w/ outgoing bills and keep on top of things, to never have to be in the boat of owing money to a bank or somebody else for a car or a house, two of the biggest expenses one will have in their life.
