I got straightened out about that comment.
The house itself can slide pretty badly, but the land beneath tends to hold value. Opposite cases abound, like anywhere we let liberals run things (Detroit, Philly, Camden NJ across the river, etc).

Oldest trick in the book. The moment a salesperson says "this price won't last" (even if its true) I'm out of there. A friend of mine had a house in the million plus range that wouldn't sell.
He started raising the price $50k every few months until it finally was gone!
Sometimes it works.

No a home is an investment. A consumption item you throw away. That statement explains the decay of American cities, and the loss of farmland.

Hoping the housing market stays down for at least two more years. Maybe I’ll pickup a nice home for tens of thousands less that it was worth a year ago.

You are using a rubber dollar.
It is the dollar that is depreciating. Which looks to most people as the asset that they are counting with it is appreciating.
