We were lucky to have jumped houses at the bottom of the slump, and moved to a better, newer, bigger property. We've done well out of that so far. Housing around here is approaching its pre-slump highs. But it's popular real estate.

He used to post here very frequently, on this thread, before his blog: Subject 58137 It was a thread I consulted when I was considering selling my suddenly-worth-a-lot-of-money CA house, before the housing collapse. I sold in time, and made a lot of money. He was one of the guys supporting my decision to sell, while others thought I was selling too early, and walking away from MORE money. I did sell about a year "too early", but in retrospect, I'm glad to have cashed in while able. "Too early" in a bubble is ALWAYS better than too late! I don't post there much now, as most of the people there are perma-bears, some of whom are permanently sheltered in place. It's a kind of depressing place to hang out. I did learn several ways to short on that thread. They think the stock market is in a bubble at the present, and I agree.
