First of all... thank you Emily... it was great to see you in action tonight.
I wanted to post my comment about the part of the show where we all chuckled about buying at the height of the boom... July 2006. I chuckled because we did the same... we had MANY realtors tell us our downtown Bend home could get 500k... "easy"... we bought a bigger 500k home contingent on us selling our small downtown home... we did and now two years later I'm sure we couldn't get more than 375k-although, we don't want to sell. We'll be here the rest of our lives and the market will eventually come back.
I truly feel part of the boom was due in part to the masses of realtors wanting to cash in on the boom.
