Takeaway - buy premium real estate that sells easy and fast
So you can liquidate before the foreclosure if you have to.

Premium real estate is generally burst resistant
it will be the very last thing to pop because it is so highly desired.
Suburban tract homes and condos will be the first to go.

Remember Rockefeller Center?
Of course, I guess it depends on your definition of premium. ;-)
Cheers,

Residential different from commercial
people wanna live where they wanna live.

highend first to pop
it is the second home middleclass that is most resistant. tract homes and condos drop pretty quick but they are not that high to begin with.

You might be surprised...

We'll see
The wonderpad I just sold in CO was first tier. It did fine (sold to second viewer for full asking price) while all the second tier stuff around it was starting to drag due to oversupply.
Last stuff to drop will be view/waterfront/urban/rural. There's just not enough of it to go around. Suburban new construction will get hit first. For instance, Pulte just lowered prices of new homes across the board.

Oh man, you sold it??
I was hoping you'd come back to town someday and have a party at the wonderpad. :)
