What to do in this market?

01-28-08

Many of us sit and watch the stock market and then the Fed. rates -- wondering just what to do?

Today a friend of mine asked me this question and I told him that many people are scared to move scared to sell or buy a home -- the fact is this: Anyone buying in this market is a smart and savvey person they will profit in the long term-- now if you are looking to "flip" a house this is not the market in which one would want to do that. Real Estate is a long term investment it is not a liquid so a investment in ones future would be a wise one! Selling a home in todays market means that you really must list the property to what the market states. Not always a easy pill to swollow -- we all have a home thats worth millions in our minds but it is truely only worth what a buyer will pay!
