I should note the cash used to buy the house uses the colors green and WHITE. You guessed it. @Horace should we submit a request to make it Green and Black with the Bureau of Engraving and Printing?
Works for me. There would still be a guy named George on the $1. Floyd this time.

I was a cash buyer in 2013 when we moved to the burbs, and I’m a patiently-waiting cash buyer now, waiting for prices to drop more.

The problem is I was born with a short position in housing that I, or someone on my behalf, has always had to cover.

I don't see how that affects the decision of putting money into the stock market, or a house.

Well I have to put money of some sort into housing.
I’m practice, I’ve done both. Far more in the market than in housing

I'm sure we all understand the house represents a small fraction of your money. I was just curious about how a theoretical short housing position one is born into, translates meaningfully into capital allocation decisions when it comes time to buy a home.

Homes cost money, unfortunately.
