| Generally speaking, real estate market price would raise and drop from time to time, isn't it normal? The thing is how much it raises and drops within a certain time frame. Even it "may" drop 25% (or more) in the next 3 years, who can guarantee that it won't bounce up in the following 7 years? (as I mentioned, the suggested 10 year "safe term"). As long as the owners can afford the mortgage, they can wait until a higher point to sell (if the real estate is for investment purpose). |
