IMHO this may be one of the best analysis pieces regarding residential real estate. Yeah I know it's not cars, but it is about the biggest "investment" you're likely to make in your life.

If you're a doom and gloomer this won't be for you..........nor is it for the stary eyed. Since most of the membership here are "boomers" or just slightly younger there might be info here that will help you in planning how you'll prioritize, or re-prioritize, future decisions. Taking real estate growth patterns for granted could be a costly mistake in some areas.
