MANY POTENTIAL BUYERS ARE UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THE MARKET WILL AGAIN FALL AT THE END OF THE YEAR.

YES HOME VALUES ARE STARTING TO UP, BECAUSE THE INVENTORY IS JUST NOT THERE. BUT ONCE BANKS START RELEASING ABUNDANCE OF INVENTORY THE SUPPLY WILL BE THERE, THEREFORE HOME VALUES WILL GO DOWN AGAIN. WHAT DO YOU THINK???

I think those buyers are smoking something funny.

It's wishful thinking on their part.  Either that or they need validation to support their procrastination.

Who knows what will happen??? I advise my clients to try and not read the crystal ball but that now is an excellent time to buy with historically low interest rates and that it is still a strong buyers market with great deals to be had.

I think the only homes on the market now are 1) REO, 2) short-sales, and 3) people with a real (traditional) need to move.

Most of the "by choice" sellers are off the market waiting for an upturn in the range of what we saw in the boom.  That increase is not going to come.

We will be lucky to get back to the historic 2-3% appreciation over time.  I don't see any strong upturn that is going to entice legions of optional sellers to return to the market place.

If I pretend to know the answer to this. .that would be another thing. It's hard enough to keep up with my own local market.

It seems everyone is concerned about prices while ignoring interest rates which can go up. I can't predict the future - glad the public and media can!

To answer your question I have to segment the market much like Jim Hale did in his comment,

First  "by choice"  This part of the market in all price ranges is dead. There are so many must sells that the by choice seller cant (or wont) compete and the by choice buyer is choosing not to take a chance.

Then by price:

Here is SW Florida the low priced homes are selling at increased prices, but they are selling to  investors, who it seems to me will ,sooner or later,  have to find end users  to profit from their investment.  Given the state of the job market and the fact that loans are hard to get, I think these investors are going to have a difficult time selling their new investment. I think we are in the middle of a classic "dead cat bounce"

Middle to high priced homes still have a long way to fall, Investors are not interested bacause they cant be rented at a profit.  This part of our market has traditionally been fueled by "northern money" ie retirees and second home buyers from colder climates. I am talking to a number of potential buyers that are not buying here until their stock market investments recover. I dont see any end to price declines until and unless the baby boomers are able to recover the losses in their other investments and redirect some of that money to retirement  or second homes in Fla
