Like always, that depends on "location, location, location". The major
metro areas are all in the news now with the subprime lending fiasco
(where the rest of us are getting ready to be soaked to subsidize the
fools and greedy who signed up for all these mortgages they couldn't
afford ), but in other areas things are pretty much as they've always
been...

That said, it's a negotiating point, agreed...
