<p>[QUOTE=&quot;crazyd, post: 8058764, member: 67221&quot;]My well maintained modest ranch home is in a nice small established community close to everything.&nbsp; It will be paid off in 6 years. Don&#039;t care what the real estate market is valued at - or what profit I might make over what I put into it -&nbsp; because its where I wanted to live, raise a family and retire. During the 2008 big recession we actually built an addition on it - I think at that time the &quot;value&quot; of our home had declined 20%.</p><p><br /></p><p>I sometimes think the idea of just&nbsp; buying a decent home and putting down roots in a community has been overtaken by everyone trying to make a profit and speculating. I do feel bad for younger folks&nbsp; struggling to afford a decent family home these days.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
