The prices are low and I took on a USDA Rural Housing Guaranteed Loan at 100% financing. I'm having a little buyer's remorse just because my monthly expenses are higher than they were and I'm locked in until I build equity that would allow me to sell and afford to pay the realtor commission. If Ms. Corcoran is correct and things go up again I will be rejoicing that I bought low with a low interest rate. I have seniority in a county government job in an area that is mandated by law so feel my income is fairly secure. I, like Kesa, feel I did my part to stimulate the economy!

In some areas the cost of renting or buying are about the same, so a lot of people can turn in the "renter" title for "homeowner".
