I think its definitely a buyers market as opposed to a sellers' market... |

well about 7 years ago would have been better - but i think prices will only continue to rise so if you can afford to do it you should! |

well right now it is considered to be a "buyers market" however you yourself can make the choice of buying or not.. look online like msn or yahoo at the homes for sale in your area and see what they are selling for? compare them to eachother and also what you have right now. Also look online at like Zillow.com and check how much the house has gone up in value or down. i dont know your location but in Ca i consider it not to be a good time to buy. i hope those lil bites help you. |

Do you mean are prices likely to go up or down ? Nobody knows. Some pundits have been predicting a fall in house prices for some years now, so far they have been wrong, and anybody who took their adivce would have lost out big time.
It is a question that nobody knows the answer to, and if they say that they do, they are misinformed. |

It is a great time to buy a house. Every market is different, but over the long term real estate goes up. Talk with a Realtor in your area, they will tell you if that market is going down or up right now. |

Floridian property prices are down 22% in 8 months, so now is a good time to buy there. Of course they might fall again. |

I think it comes down to your indiviudal circumstances. If you can get onto the property ladder then do so. You could try th emarket see what deals you could get. I used money super when I was looking for a mortgage have a look -

It's always a good time to buy foreclosure homes. Buying a foreclosure home can be a great way to save, since it's often possible to buy these valuable properties for prices way below their actual market value. In fact, you can often find savings ranging anywhere from 10 to 50%. For more information, please visit www.foreclosurelistings.com |

If you are American... Maybe... It really depends where you are and how badly the prices have dropped. The US is supposed to be heading towards a recession and the market value is down lately (ie. US dollar falling in every market)
If you are Canadian... Hell no! If you can save your money in a high interest savings account for a few years, the prices will probably go down. The Bank of Canada was discussing raising the interesst rates which would offset inflation causing the market to cool down and housing prices to drop. This should happen either this summer or next summer. Patience is a virtue, if you wait until the time is right, your money could buy you so much more (as opposed to a 200 000$ 1.5 condo in Montreal. lol) |

Definitely not especially if you are a first time buyer. If you are selling a home and trading up, chances are you plan top stay for a while so that might be ok to buy. The market is extremely overpriced and dropping about 10k a month in states like CA and AZ. Why would you buy a home for lets say 250k tat in 1 year down the road you can get for 180?? |
