In today's world it seems like you can't turn on the television without hearing about how bad the economy is. However, I am not the one to quickly subscribe to the Doom and Gloom theme.
Markets through out history have risen and fallen according to supply, demand, interest rates, inflation, consumer spending, social factors and numerous other economic factors. When we often think of investments many tend to believe investments continue to go up in value. Nothing could be further from the truth. It would be a walk in the park if markets always appreciated in value. Often times markets generally move in three directions.
When markets move up, many investors enjoy the gains from their investments whether they are investing in the stock market or the housing market. Investors make money from the difference in the price they paid for a asset to the current value they can liquidate the asset for.
In a down trending market, when values of a certain asset class are depreciating, many investors loose money simply because their assets are worth less than the price they paid for them. In the housing market, this is often called " Being Upside Down "
A sideways market is a market where values of a certain asset class are stagnate. In other words the market is not having much change in price and value of the asset class.
The rule of thumb for investors or anyone looking for a great deal is quite simple, BUY LOW / SELL HIGH. So when I see headlines like " Housing Market Worst Since The Great Depression " I'm not sure about you but I see a GREEN light come on in my head that say BUY !!!
Housing prices and interest rates have not been this low in ages. If you are a first time home buyer this a great time to purchase a home while taking advantage of the huge discounts available. If you are looking to invest or buy a second home, there are literally too many great deals out there for one to take advantage of.
One thing is for certain, just as markets never continue to go up, markets never continue to stay down. This market will rebound and the wise people who took advantage of these discounted real estate prices will laugh all the way to the bank.
