    I mean, anecdotally, I do know someone that bought a new build in mid 2008 for about 60k-ish less than what everyone else in the neighborhood bought for (earlier or later). The company building out the subdivision was pretty desperate and he had a solid stable job as a trucker. He managed to get all kinds of perks and stuff too.

      60k is nothing at all if your loan means forever being a slave until you retire and haven’t paid it all. I wish housing was a thing we could actually finish paying within our useful… Before 60’s lifetime. What the fuck do I need a new gazebo for when I’m 80? Screw that shit. I want it now.

      LOL. We’re so fucked.
