Some consumers are wondering if now is the right time to purchase a home, or if they should wait for prices to stabilize. Some real estate experts believe that home prices will continue to decline and that buyers should wait, while others recommend that home buyers take factors other than price into consideration, such as the benefits of owning versus renting...
Consumers who are hesitant about purchasing a home today because they fear price depreciation, need to understand that real estate is cyclical and that prices will increase again.
Home buyers should view a house as a long-term investment and not be fixated on short-term prices. Some economists believe that consumers should purchase a house if they have a need, or plan to live in or hold the property for 5-7 years. This will allow the market to stabilize and homeowners to profit from their investment, if they decide to sell.
