The following question was presented:
My biggest dilemma right now is what to do on the housing front. Kind of bored with my apartment and the rent keeps going up. There's actually not a lot of rental choice on the market either. Housing market as basically stalled and potentially looks like it might crash. What should I do for housing?

Analysis:
Well, I've decided to stay where I am, but continue to look for somewhere to buy. Want to keep my eyes on the market to see what's happening and don't want to rush into a decision. I did the economics and it's not too bad to stay and cut the lease early if I find that amazing property. Doubt that will happen as I'm not really the kind of guy that just falls in love with a house.
