help with buying Real Estate in San Francisco

I've got a little spare cash at the moment and thought I would get an opinion on buying a place in SF or simply leaving my money under my matress (not literally). Everyone knows the market is in the stink, but I have no idea whether or not buying a small house, invest in stock etc etc.

Is it a good time to invest in real estate? Or should I wait or a few years until all the mess blows over and the market picks up? pls help

Bush's recent disturbing predictions on the economy for a 700 BILLION dollar bailout… IMHO ~ I would hold tight on making any unnecessary purchases at this time. What do you think?

I'd wait!

After what has happened regarding this tremendous bailout and if I had extra cash, I would seek professional financial advice but I would most certainly hold tight on making any unnecessary purchases. BrianWard says it best with only TWO words.

Hi mileykelly, How'd you go with the decision to buy? While im not an economist, I don't think it takes a genius to understand that holding onto your money for the short term is the safest investment. I do however think there is a BUCKETLOAD of money to be made right now. The markets will bounce back, eventually. The key is make sure you don't buy in too early. AJ
