Let's be accurate about what is going on in the real estate market...

<p>We just recently bought the house we’re going to retire to (and move to sooner if we find jobs in the area.) We paid 20% off the original price. Our present home is paid for, so hopefully when we sell it, prices will uptick again, but even if they don’t, we’ll easily be able to cover the other mortgage, since we bought so low. The house we bought had been on the market for something like 450 days.</p>
