The Myth: Real Estate Prices Always go Up
Many “geniuses” we know of in today’s market are folks who bought during that downturn-as it was a perfect time to buy. Timing was easy-almost automatic-if you bought real estate from 2010-2019.
Many of today’s investors & real estate owners were too young to legally accept a deed in 2005-2009. They didn’t experience the price declines through 2013. (See chart). Now, over the past 3 years we have seen many markets throughout the US experience declines in pricing, while at the same time, many markets continue to rise.
The good news in a choppy market with falling prices? Your chance to time the market.
Timing the Stock Market – Patience & Action
Patience is required to effectively time a stock market purchase. This can be tough-just waiting 90% of the time. But then, when a buying opportunity appears, overcoming the pervasive fear in the market to take action is often the more difficult action than the waiting. Yet both are required to successfully enter a winning position.
Timing the Real Estate Market – Patience & Action
Timing the real estate market is easier because you have more control. YOU MAKE THE OFFER and then patiently follow up. Many sellers are asking unrealistic prices for both residential property & even more so in commercial property.
Why Real Estate Wins
A property’s value is determined when the price a buyer is willing to pay matches the price a seller is willing to accept. This is called “price discovery” and YOU can actively work on this in real estate by making more offers & following up on offers made. It is simple & effective.
You can act & create more deals-create timing-in real estate. It is for this reason that 90% of my time & money is invested in real estate and only 10% in stocks. More control.
