Also why not pay off todays debt with tomorrows inflated dollars...just my opinion...

I think it has more to do with timid buyers. The only message they keep hearing is the sky is falling, so they don't want to buy. If stocks were falling, wouldn't you buy? Or would you wait until they started climbing again? Our market is faring WAY better than most of the nation's. There were 3 of the top 10 appreciating markets nationally in Washington this past year. DOM is rising. I think it has more to do with timid buyers.

If so, is it because sellers are unwilling to lower their prices? I get the feeling that our market in the Northwest is faring better than most of the country?
