I agree 100%. Now is the time for the smart entrepreneur to make his move(s). Phoenix isn't the only place this is happening either… I truly believe that "recension" is in the eyes of the beholder.

Home buyers north of the border are not much different. Since our markets have not seen the foreclosures that the US has you would think that they would not be so disillusioned, but they are! Everyone just wants to personally gain by a bad situation. But what they don't do it put themselves in the sellers shoes. Just how is a seller gonna respond to an offer that is $40k lower than their asking price…??

This is the best time to buy ever. Many investors are sitting it out? Why??? Are they waiting for the prices to go back up so they can pay more?!?

If they're not ready to buy in this market with depressed prices and 3.75% 15 year fixed interest rates, they're probably insane. Lots of great opportunity out there!

Most people believe what they read or hear on the news. In my area you would think we're back to the good old days, 2004-2005. No we're not and won't be for a long time. They also believe that they can buy a home in Newport Beach for the median Orange County price. Not much different anywhere. The more things change the more they stay the same.

You bring up a great point about how “local” real estate really is. Property values can have major differences from one street to the next. Values change within a street if one side backs on to a busy street or railroad track. There are some in demand neighbourhoods where its almost impossible to get a “bargain”. I do find bargains on condos that have problems with the Condo Corporation and management. Fraud or serious maintenance & repair problems will severely lower condo values. If it looks like the management problems will be resolved in the near future you may be able to get a great bargain. But the maintenance fees may be so high that it isn’t worth buying for a dollar!

Some Real Estate Agents, although it's their job, sometimes tend to coerce buyers and make themselves sound that something is really urgent. For a home buyer like myself, I'd like to take my time in buying a home because this is not just a pair of shoes that if you don't like it, you'll just have to buy a new pair. This is a long term decision and they have to understand that.

This is all the media's fault, of course. If you tell buyers for years to expect the world, of course they are going to.

Absolutely fabulous post! Thank you for taking the time to break down the numbers to illustrate your point! While wearing my REALTOR hat, I've had several clients want to write low-ball offers on well-priced properties. What a waste of time!
