Good job, but the numbers indicate prices are going lower, are you sure it is a buyers market when prices are falling and expected to fallfurther? I wonder how agents can tell consumers that it is a "buyers market" when prices are clearly falling, why don't you just hey, buy at the top, now is the time to do that!

Chris,

I agree that prices may yet fall, but I don't agree that buyers now are "buying at the top". Now is definitely a buyer's market if you consider the very slow inventory turnover rates. I think we're far closer to the bottom than the top. The other factor that makes now a good time to buy is that interest rates are rising. We probably won't see November's rates again, and as soon as the public has any sense that the economy has turned the corner, rates may rise substantially. Also if you are following the deficit reduction discussions, some other homeowner incentives may go away. Also there are plans to reduce the current higher limits for FHA and conforming loans in October. Considering all these factors, now is a good time to buy.
