Around mid this year would be the best time to buy and will help guarantee you'll get a house for as cheap as possible. Wait to long though and you risk the prices beginning to rise again.

As the recession worsens and foreclosures increase the price of available homes should continue to decline. Compared with last year the market looks rich in bargains, but there may be plenty of better deals soon enough. Over half the home sales in Arizona are lender foreclosures.

It is always better to buy when there are more sellers and sell when there are more buyers.My best answer to buying and selling a home, not withstanding that you must buy or sell, relocation or larger family etc causing you to act, you should consider the following. When the market is so good that it is unbelievable, it has been raising in double digit percentage increases for 3 years straight, everyone is convinced that it is going extremely higher, your neighbor buys a new Mercedes Benz and only makes 100k a year, your real estate broker tells you to name your price for your house, you know 3 people going to get their real estate license, you should sell. I mean if that is what you needed to do anyway.When you hear that the market is going much lower after it has dropped two years in a row, all the people that went to real estate school now work at Macy’s, a few of your good friends have lost their job. There are for sale signs every where and finally some are gone, it is reasonably hard to get a mortgage, you are afraid of the market going lower yourself, everyone tells you not to buy. The newspapers and TV have for sometime said the market is terrible, the stock market is in bad shape. It is time to buy!

It doesn't matter what deals are out there-if you can't afford to buy-and make the payments-, then no time is good. And vice-versa.

Does he qualify for a mortgage in this environment, for instance? Price-wise, yes, a solid buyer's market. Here in Las Vegas today's housing scene is very similar to yours. Jay,
