It would be assanine to put all your eggs in one basket, just ask folks who invested heavily in Phoenix, or Las Vegas, or Denver, or Silicon Valley, or Orange County in 1995-2005.If you all want to have a smart a$$ exchange, I can hang with you all day long.

One of the tickets to getting a good deal right now lies heavily in your realtor's ability to negotiate.
