    That was my point… Educate yourself and be decisive when opportunity pops up.

    Opportunity could pop up very soon or in a while. My point is that you need to educate yourself fast so that you are ready for any opportunity. I just don’t agree one needs 6-12 months to educate himself.

    On the other hand, “Right house at the right price” is subjective anyways.

    Yes but right now hope Springs eternal for sellers. If they are going to get lucky it will be now and most will try for that and hold on too long for that. It does take a few months to properly educate oneself and I beleive I have a much larger body of knowledge to draw upon to say that. The other point of the waiting 6 months is it put you square into the best season market for buyers (Oct to Dec).

    [quote=hmc]I think, in this market, you have a lot of opportunities.

    The key is to do the home work and be *very decisive*. You will miss opportunities with hesitations. You will never find a perfect home but you must have discipline on what is must to have and what is nice to have.

    I disagree that you need 6-12 months to find a home. With today’s information available from internet, you will have a sense what the market is in a couple of weeks, if you work on it.

    Let me repeat again, be decisive (with educated information)! If you find a home you like in the near future, don’t pass it just because you are not on the market long enough. Good deals do come and go very fast.[/quote]

    Excellent post, hmc!

    Market condition (interest rate, job market and overall housing recovery/dip) far outweights seasonal things. Waiting is always a gamble… and odds are usually against you.
