IS THIS A GOOD TIME TO BUY?
n times of uncertainty, whether it be economic, or uncertainty in the real estate market, buyers frequently ask us, “Is this a good time?” They’re concerned about interest rates. Or, they’re concerned about the run up in prices, is there a bubble? Mark Twain once said, “Don’t wait to buy Real Estate. Buy Real Estate and wait.”
MARIANN ABRAM
If you look at prices historically, real estate has continued to rise. The real question is: How long do you plan to be in your home? Maybe you’re just looking for something to flip, or just something for a year or two, then yes… You might want to reconsider the timing. However, if you’re planning on staying there for the foreseeable future. If you’re planning on buying a home to start and raise your family. If you’re looking for your forever home, your retirement home, you shouldn’t try to time your purchase with the market. Don’t wait to buy Real Estate. Buy Real Estate and wait.
