Hi, I'm Steven JonesI recently passed my Licensing exam and currently waiting for the arrival of my license!

During the GFC some areas of CA central valley crashed 75%, in South & East San Jose 50%....meanwhile up the peninsula some appreciated.

Good information in this post, though I’d be cautious about characterizing the arrival of a single employer or agency—no matter how large—as an inflection point.The more nuanced truth is that Huntsville has seen strong job growth for many years thanks to the constant influx of new employers (or incumbents expanding), including the FBI, Under Armor, Parsons, Fifth/Third, Glaukos, SpaceFactory, Total Quality Logistics (TQL), and so on.The point is that Huntsville’s growth seems like a secular, broad-based trend more than anything else, and so market performance is likely to be influenced by that rather than the arrival of U.S.

If the market crashes and I have to sell for some odd reason, I have plenty of equity to over the cost of selling.However, if I bought off of the MLS at $400,000 for a property worth $400,000 using "creative financing" and I had to sell for some reason, my cost of selling runs about 9% (as will yours) so about $36,000.

It's a nice town, but SW FL has historically been the first to go down in a crash and that area, when it goes, crashes hard.
