Financial news

Wow, this was a bad time to ditch a secure comfortable income, huh?

I'm not frantic, as I know I can weather a short- to medium-term financial storm, but I continue to be impressed with my lifelong knack for pessimal timing.

That's coming right up, believe me.

We're still getting regular traffic to at least one or two showings per week, but the perception of the market has to have suppressed buyer interest in general.

Absolutely. On the other hand, for a buyer who's financially stable, it's a good time to pick something up.

I think I would still wait a year or two.

Waiting is also good. Would you wait a year or two for real estate or for stocks, or both? I might not wait that long on stocks, depending what they were.

For real estate. I have no idea what stocks are going to do. The volatility is way too high right now.
