all joking aside I would only use zillow to see how much similar homes have sold for not what your home value is.

i have a 30 year fixed and looked at maybe going to a 15, but i know we aren't going to be here for very long, so i'm just going to leave it where it is and stick with the payments. i'm dreading the day we have to move again

Why do you have to move? And did you know you would have to move when you bought the place?

The housing market will always fluctuate. The days of year after year appreciation are dead and gone and no amount of economic recovery will bring that back. IMO you should buy a house if it's something you love and you know you want to spend a good long time there. Otherwise, just keep on renting and invest your disposable dollars elsewhere.

We're upside down just like 90% of San Diego, but we're staying. I was okay buying this place at the price I paid so why walk away? I'm fine and we love our house. Sure I could buy twice the sq footage for the same money now, but this is MY HOME.

Not that you are doing it but it always gets me when people start doing the whole, "I got ripped off because the house lost value" thing, or the "I could get more house for less so I am not happy". When in reality they bought the house that they could afford at the time. Buyers remorse is a funny thing sometimes.

I bought 3 years ago and put 20% down. The neighbors recently sold their unit (similar to mine) for about $90,000 less than I paid for my unit. So, I'm definitely upside down on the loan. Hopefully, I don't have to go anywhere for the next 10 or 15 years or so.
