<<Are you concerned the fallout of the banking crisis with the wealth effect and layoffs ,which are a 2008 story, will drag down many suburbs of NY for years to come? Sort of how it dragged it in the mid 70's and early 90's..>>

Let me be a little clearer with my answer.

YES...

I don't think I'm going to go to contract with this house. I've been sufficiently scared by what went on in the financials this week.

In NY we have 1) no interest rate relief 2) expensive housing and 3) a rapidly deteriorating macro-economy where the "prime" jobs are being lost.

Maybe 1 more year won't hurt. The credit crunch only began in August.

I still do think where prices have been blasted - i.e. FL, CA - there are opportunities.
