Every indicator I've seen predicts a downturn in the next 6 months.

So you're telling me not to buy for six more months.

Is this nationwide or is this more West-side centric?

Nation-wide.

I wouldn't be surprised, but I would be surprised if it were anything dramatic like '08. Anyway, a market correction isn't always a bad thing, so long as credit isn't severely hampered like it was back then. If credit is flowing, then a lot of first time buyers could get a great opportunity to buy into the market. If not, then we'll just see another repeat of rich getting richer.

For sure. However, any downturn has an outsized impact on flippers as compared to buy'n'hold investors.

True, but at this level and in this market (three major universities in rock throwing distance of one another) we could easily turn a property like this in to a long term rental, if need be.
