When I was in college mortgage rates went to their all time high of 18%. That is what kept me out of Real Estate initially. My father was a Real Estate Broker and I saw what a really tough market looked like and I didn't want to be involved. This perspective gives me a truly different take on the market we are in now.
What I see is opportunity for buyers!
The old saying of buy low and sell high! What makes a great time to buy property. Let me think....
1) When you can buy at a discount.
2) When sellers will pay your closing costs so that you don't have to come out of pocket.
3) When you can finance at a great interest rate (5.75% 30 yr. fixed)
4) When you have a lot of inventory to choose from
Wow! I think that time could be now!
When people look back they will say 2007 and 2008 was the time I should have bought my home!

We are having that issue here as well. Buyers can get a good deal on a home right now but the discounts are not as drastic as the news media leads them to believe.

Isn't it amazing that media experts can't seem to grasp the concept. The biggest problem that I see here in Austin Texas is that buyers have a perception that builders and sellers in general are so desperate that homes are free.
