I remember in early 2000's when houses were so expensive, my dad was pressuring me to buy a house. He said that they were just going to go up. My older sister did listen and she bought a house an hour away because that is where she could afford. I'm glad I listened to my gut and decided to wait. Eventually the housing market crashed and so many people lost their homes. That could have been me if I would have listened to my dad. I now have bought two home and both at good prices.
