The dip in ’09 came in the summer. I wouldn’t be too surprised to see a similar dip this summer. If you’re not in a hurry, you might consider waiting until after the spring buying season ends. That’s probably something to consider in any market except one that’s shooting up relentlessly, which this one obviously isn’t. Of course, the buying season is also the selling season. Meaning that you might face lower inventory (less to choose from) later in the year.
So many variables, so much to consider. Again, good luck.
