So many people have been waiting the market to slow down from last year, some of them have the down payment to purchase this spring.

It is always better to buy when it is on the way up than it is on the way down." P; j; P! X3 G8 I" d5 n U# f9 a
For example, the condo average price is around $240,000 this March, now it is $270,000.5 D# }% q( }; B
Say, it is at its prime now even though there is no sign in the condo section yet. Can any body guess, when it will come down to $240,000.

House market will not go down if the interest rate is low, so if you want to buy a low price house when it is over priced, you will have bear the high interest rate.

OK, if you bought this March, $240,000, interest rate 5%. Best deal, total interest in 5years $60,000 Total:$300,000

condo with $1000/month rent) Total: $344,040

We can see what is the best, when it is on its way up, worst?when it is prime(peak).

So, those who have waited, may have to wait another 6 months. However, who can say the price in next March will be $240,000.

For me as a property investor, I will always tell everyboy, it is a good time to buy,$ M6 t6 V; C- g! h9 P
For those without a house and try to buy a lower price one, will always try to convince people not to buy, then the market will go down,/ E/ c ^0 O }0 N5 D- B4 ]
then they will switch to my line and try to "HouHou" to push the market up.5 Q' e/ X' S r; J% F
