Is there going to be a housing market 'crash'?
As a first-time buyer, getting on the property ladder is fairly daunting at the moment. There seems so much uncertainty withing the economy....is it best to wait and see what happens over the coming months? Would you buy a house right now?

I know it is scary. It is always scary to buy your first house.

Buying a house is not like buying a share of stock. If you buy a share of Exxon, one share is exactly like another one. The prices go up and down depending on the economy and how well the company runs, not how the certificate of stock looks or where it is located.

A house is worth more if it is on San Francisco Bay than if it is on the plains of Kansas. It is worth more in a good school system than in a bad one. It is worth more if the economy in the local area looks good than a different town where the local industry is shutting down.

There is no national residential housing market, only tens of thousands of local ones. Even here in my City of 350,000 there are neighborhoods where houses are gaining in value and others where the prices are staying the same or going down.

Go look at homes. New and old, in your price range. Don't let anyone pressure you into buying, you should fell comfortable with your knowledge before you make a decision. Look at foreclosure homes and at brand new properties and at established neighborhoods that are several decades old (all in similar price ranges).

After looking at dozens for a couple or three months you will have a good sense of what you like and what values are. In my area this is a wonderful time to be a buyer. There are sellers that are being transfered, getting divorsed, losing their jobs and worried because of what they see on TV. You can take advantage of...well not them exactly, you can take advantage of the situation. You can buy while everyone is worried and you will get a wonderful price on just the house you want!

On the other hand if you wait until things turn rosey and everyone on TV is telling you to buy houses...you will pay higher prices, and maybe higher interest rates.

Wait till December, its always fairly quiet in the housing market then but this year prices will be falling and you'll be able to knock thousands off any asking price! Watch Panorama tomorrow too!

nope but in all fairness it all depnds on the situation. If its a job relocation then sure. If its for rental or flipping then hell no. (flipping died painfully back in 05). Property taxes are an issue mortgage lending is tightening, insurance costs are rising, the ARM reset will be a bad one unless you were smart enogh to get out if it.

again it depends on the situation.

Not a good time to be buying or selling a home. You are wisely advised to wait for the time being. In the United States, this is not a what-if question, it is a reality. The crash is in place. Be smart and hang onto your money and intentions just for now and you will be glad you did later.

Yes I would, in a lot of areas property is still rising. We won't have a crash just a wobble, they won't let the mistakes of the 80's happen again. Watch your local area and if prices are falling offer a good 15% lower and you could get a good deal.

Sure it is a buyers market, try to buy a house now if you like. Housing prices are dropping.

That is a tricky question.

Lets say there was something like a crash which could be caused by people not being able to pay their interest rates for mortgages. Those properties would be confiscated by the relevant financial institutions.
Too much property would go for cheap.
On the other hand constructors would think twice and would only invest in luxury accommodations. Luxury goes always, you know.

We heard what happened in USA by mortgages being virtually globally traded. To say that that would cause a crash worldwide might be very far fetched.

Anyway, if you happen to see something that you like you must go for it. Especially, if the price is right.

If there was a housing market crash it would sure recover again. Then prices will rise even more. It's a bit like the stock exchange, you know. ..

Besides, a crash couldn't last. People need homes. If governments don't provide they will lose votes.
