I know that the housing market is not the greatest right now but i figure if im gonna put 2000 towards housing fee's i'd like to see something for my money

That is the point; you won't see anything. Unless you are think of staying in that house for 30 years it will not appreciate fast enough to be worth your wild if you just stay say five years in it.

I purchased a home in the peak of the market in 2006 and we will still make money on our home. Buying now in a down market is the best time to buy because thing can only go up.

Even if they stayed level for 5 years your better off buying.
