Yeppers. Ya gotta know when to hold 'em, and know when to fold 'em.

I sold my condo just before the CA housing bubble went completely tits up. Four years later, it was listed at $150k. A month after that, it was foreclosed to the lender for $111k.

Yay me!

It took another 11 years for the value to return to where it was when I sold it. And now, it's worth even more. The California housing market is nucking FUTZ!
