When real estate was booming in Arizona a few years ago, you would probably have needed to pay about three or four hundred thousand dollars for a decent condominium in the Scottsdale area. How times have changed. My sister just purchased a condo there for $72,000.

This situation was created by Wall St. bankers who created and sold mortgage backed securities which eventually became worthless. The fact that they were able to do this and get away with it without any sort of punishment is astounding. In fact when they lost hundreds of billions of dollars the U.S. federal government just covered the losses for them.

In any case now is a good time to purchase a home if you have a job and a means to make mortgage payments.
