Your words:
"if you have a house and you think we're in a housing bubble and you might lose 70 thousand to a 150 thousand over the next year.. where do you live if you sell now? Sell a stock you've got cash, sell a home you've got a parking lot."
Nope, sell a home you have cash. Besides, where did you get the 70 thousand figure?
What if it was 350K instead? Are you more intersted in renting or it still doesnt matter?
