It is time for every family or individual whose lifestyle is evolving to quit reading and believing everything they hear in the media about the doom and gloom of the housing market. These negative "the sky is falling" reports have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with your life needs! You and your family's needs and desires are constantly evolving. You listen to these reports and say to yourself, "I can't sell my house now. I'll only lose money on the sale". Or you'll think, "I can't buy now, I'll pay too much". So you listen to the negative reports and do nothing.
Well guess what? There has never been a BETTER time or a WORSE time to buy or sell your home. Real estate prices are clycical and go up and down. Nothing has really changed in the last fifty plus years to determine when the "right" time is to buy or sell a home. The right time for you to buy or sell is when it fits your lifestyle and the growth of your family. Remember, you are progressing through life on a relatively short trip. You should realize that how and where you live are the important factors in buying or selling a home. You cannot put a price on the quality of life that you enjoy.
Yes, you are investing in property that you hope to make a gain on, but are you not really investing in your life as well? Why stifle your evolving lifestyle needs because you read or hear negative articles about housung? If you wait for a perfect time to buy or sell, you may just run out of time altogether.
Let us have your thoughts on this.

There is certainly a right time and price for most people, when it comes to buying and selling. I am interested in hearing about your House Hunters Caravan, if you would not mind sharing!
