So many consumers are asking themselves these questions.  They read all sorts of different articles in the newspaper, magazines or online. I agree, it is sometimes hard to decide what to do.  There is no right or wrong answer.  Every home buyer or seller has their own unique reasons for wanting to buy or sell.  We don't know the perfect time, until after the fact.  Years later me may say "Oh right 2006 was a great time to sell" or "Oh right, late 2008 to early 2009 was a great time to buy".  You must decide what is the right time for you.  If you need help making your decision, give me a call!  After all I'm here to help you!
