RE: I hope it continues ....

Yup, buying is generally better and cheaper than renting. As an example, when we moved, back in the late 1990s, we rented a house, thinking we'd move somewhere else. It cost us $1,150 a month. After a couple of years, we decided to stay here. We bought the house from the owner, and our mortgage is about $900. Same house. Now, we could sell it for more than twice what we paid for it.

I'm not complaining! Except, the government feels the need to raise our property taxes. Someday, in another world, property taxes will go DOWN instead of UP. F-ing government. They always have their hand out, and will sue you if you don't give to them.

On the other hand, forum member Jay Buridan might take issue with the fact that our "wealth" has increased and we haven't had to pay taxes on that gain. He'd be wrong.
