Buying When Home Prices Fall

If you are a buyer, that's fabulous news! You're in the driver's seat. You call the shots. When you say "jump," sellers ask "how high?" Sellers bow down before you and strew rose petals under your feet. You can make out like a champ if you negotiate like a chess wizard, and here are strategies to help you capitalize on a softened market:

· Buying in a Down Market
How to figure out if it makes financial sense for you to buy when prices are falling. If prices haven't hit bottom yet, how do you know where the bottom is likely to rest?

· When is the Best Time to Buy?
If you could pick a day, any day of the year in a softening market, which day would you choose? Which makes the most sense and gives you the best advantage?

· Homeshopping Tips for Serious Home Buyers

All Signs Point to Buying

I read this post from The Huffington post and thought you DGers would find this interesting.

The housing market has shown massive improvement, nearing pre-recession values around the country; still, less people are willing to buy and choose to rent instead.

According to Bloomberg, the homeownership rate across America is at its lowest in 19 years at 64.4 percent. This fall can be attributed to the much smaller percentage of first-time buyers, which currently comprises only 29 percent of all purchasers, "compared with 40 percent historically."

Good cities in the US

I am looking at wholesaling in the United States and I wanted and idea of what places would be good. I have previously attempted to wholesale in Indianapolis, even though I didn't get to close a deal. However I learnt quite a bit.

The reason why I am looking at the US is because it is more difficult to do this due to a variety of reasons. I just want some ideas, nothing has to be very detailed, and I would really appreciate it! I want to call some real estate agents, like graziosi advises, but I first need to choose a city.

Thank you!
