If this is true, my plan works out greatly also, because I will not buy at all. I will jump into the market only if
1) There is a clear market trend, people start to bid for house, and the price go up 10% already, like the one I saw in 2001, 2002.
2) I have enough cash flow to support me for the worst condition. 10% downpayment.
3) I will not buy in the next three years. I am taking a break and accumulating cash.
However, I think if the market is flat for another three years, the income is going to catch up with the house price. The long term historical trend is very clear. Check my blog and see the historical data.
