Thanks for the insight Mark. There are several nice properties available for sale in Gateway, I just don't see anyone jumping.

I'm sorry about your market timing on buying. The condo market flattened in the fall of 06 but I really doubt you'll ever see 2004-2005 prices (or interest rates) again without a MAJOR economic disaster. I don't have a crystal ball but housing prices are what urban economists call "sticky" in the downward direction. Oh well, there are a lot of advantages to renting that are not widely discussed.
