This is a great time to buy. 

I've said it before and will continue to say it.  Find a daring agent who isn't afraid to search, then negotiate a great deal and you can buy the perfect home for your family and your budget.  Thanks to the media, everyone is afraid prices are going down..........well they are.  But if you are paying rent and have a good income, you are losing money every single month anyway.  Stop worrying about losing on the value of a home.  You are already losing.  Don't waste any more time.  Find that great deal today. Some properties are going for so low, it is unlikely the market average will ever get that low. 

With the money you will save it is definitely a great time to buy!
