Personally, I don’t like to put a % in my goal of when I’ll buy my home. I know that RE move much more slowly, it flat lined for 2 years before turning down. I would assume it would take 2 years of flat line at the bottom before it turn back up. So for me, I would be when y-o-y price start turning positive again. I rather be a little late and buy after it rise 5% rather than buy early and then find out it’s still falling.
