[quote=briansd1][quote=JBurkett19]Someone else posted a good observation on another place here, and that is there are a ton of eyes on this market and an inactive buyer is even more at a disadvantage than one actively persuing. Even with all of the inventory out there, and the so-called experts calling for more to come, good deals don’t stay for long. Find a particualr neighborhood you’re interested in and watch it closely. If something comes up you like, put in an offer. See how things play out. Stay emotionally detached from the transaction and it’ll happen how it’s supposed to. [/quote]
good recommendation.
But why ever become “inactive”? I think that it’s fun to keep up with house prices just like any other prices.[/quote]
I agree with briansd1 on this point.
But watch out, it can become an infliction. I haven’t been able to stop watching the SD housing market since 1995, despite buying a few houses, selling 2/3 of what I used to own in SD and moving to a different city. It is truly an affliction.
