I agree. We are playing an entirely different housing game now than we were a year ago, largely due to the tightened credit standards. Prices must come down when interest rates or credit standards go up. Anyone hoping prices are going back to where they were even a year ago is dreaming.

"Back to 3 times income, PITI at 30% of income and actual down payments..what a concept."
