Take heart Jared, the intention isn't to get on your case. As Royall already said, some of us really got tired of the bubble talk on the Kona side forum. Personally I have been spending more and more time on this forum to get away from not just the money talk, but the ego-driven postings of people (apparently) trying to show everyone how smart they were...arguing about stuff that can't be proven until it happens. It's hard to believe but the discussions used to get really heated, downright uncivil. About what? About who was going to be proven right about whether we were in a bubble - a really silly thing to get upset over if you ask me. As of this writing, the bubble hasn't burst, but the chicken-littles are no doubt waiting for it to happen so they can tell everyone "I told you so!"
With that said, I truly understand your concern about buying an overpriced property. I think Carey's advice is right on.
One last comment and I'll sign off: I am so impressed at how civil this forum has been (with one isolated exception who has since been banned from our little cyber club), and it's been accomplished with minimal censoring by our moderator. Kudos to Rob and to everyone on this forum.
Okay, no more bubble talk from me!
