To add to this: my parents are really pushing for me to own a home. I honestly don't want to and I do not mind renting because the money I save from a mortgage I can put towards investments. D.C. homes are much cheaper and larger than NYC homes.
I hear what you guys in NYC pay for rent it and just staggers me. I have 1300 sqft on 1/3rd acre in the burbs of Hartford, and pay around $1100/mo. I have a pool, and a patio in my fenced in yard me and friends can hang out in. I am an hour away from Boston, 90 min from NYC, 30 Min from Foxwoods/Mohegan. I have Every type of etnhnic food you could imagine all within a 15-20 minute drive, I can afford to own a car, hell 3 cars, and have somewhere to put them...
And I don't even have kids. I don't see how you NYC guys can do it.
I don't want to commute to work. I lived in Jersey City and had tons of money left over. Now that I live in Brooklyn I pay more for everything but I'm not craddling poverty lines. I just don't spendy as freely as I used to.

And if there's ever been a "buy low" time it's now.
