<<potentially saving an extra hundred grand on an $800k house isn't nearly as important as enjoying your last 20-25 good years.>>

what makes you think the downside is only $100k?

True credit contraction should take housing down to year 2000 levels at a minimum and result in national unemployment in the range of 10%+.

I don't see Detroit ever coming back. The days of $80k+ year to assemble cars are over for good. The labor pool available in India and China won't ever allow the comeback in Detroit.

I can understand you becoming impatient. Bear fatigue is severe right now. However, I would be under no illusion that max downside is $100k.
