What about the aspect of being able to move without having to worry about whether you can sell you home or not? I believe what made things worse after the economy soured was that unemployed people stuck. Even unhappy people were stuck in jobs they didn't like/enjoy because they couldn't move to another part of the country (or state). One must not forget about opportunity costs in buying vs renting.
