I also tend to put myself in their shoes while I weigh in what my business needs and especially since this is not normal circumstances.

It took some time to pick up steam, but in the early 2000s, when all the Bay Area people flooded in, home prices rose at the same rate they have been in Boise.

You're young and have plenty of time to invest, I would definitely go to Hawaii if I was in your shoes.

Put yourself in their shoes for a moment.  

It might be roses and puppies where you are at but some areas are quite bad and getting worse by the day.  

I wouldn't spend too much more time on it, if I were in your shoes.

Also, with the last round of quantitative easing, home prices actually rose (not declined) because there was more money circulating. 

Let's hope we all come out smelling like a rose.

If I was in your shoes I would put 20 percent down, get a traditional 30 year mortgage since rates are still really low, and keep as much cash as possible to buy more properties if we do hit a downturn in economy. 

So practically no change.I predict that some buyers will drop out to uncertainty and false worries, and others will be pushed off the fence by the low interest rates and fill their shoes.
