Abbey, that’s the best advice I think any of us can give you! You said it yourself. Most of the market has not corrected. And I’d add that particularly the top end of the market has not corrected.
Given that the dollar is still falling, that the housing market has still got a lot of correcting to do, why buy anything? Why catch a falling knife? And for God’s sake why listen to this realtor that keeps calling you and that you can see is just looking out for himself?
Abbey, you sound like you’ve got a lot of this figured out already. Don’t rush into anything. You’ll only be able to get something better the longer you wait. Don’t let anyone tell you that you need to buy now, or it’s going to go up. It will sit at the bottom for a long time before you “need” to make your move. Things change very slowly in real estate.
