Are people telling you it’s not a good time to buy/sell a home?  I believe they are wrong.  We are living in unheard of times right now.  Many real estate professionals that have been in the business for over 30 years are remarking that they have never seen times like this.  Generally, the market has low housing prices with higher interest rates or low interest rates with higher home prices.  We have the best of both worlds right now…unheard of low interest rates and lower housing prices than we have seen in probably 10 years.

SO, this would mean now is a perfect time to buy or sell.  I personally just sold my townhome.  I priced it right, still making a profit from when I built it 7 years ago and sold it within 1 week of listing.  People have to have a home to live in and with all the doom and gloom people are hearing in the media, there are less houses to choose from, so if you have a home in good condition and priced right, now is the time it will sell.
