Real Estate always follows trends and market cycles. Market corrections are inevitable. We have been on an upswing market trend in San Francisco since 1999. The good news is that after the market corrects itself, the 50 year market performance statistics reveal that the market eventually recovers and, in time, the prices go even higher than the last high. In real estate, timing is everything. The object is to be ahead of the herd…to anticipate market swings. The big question now is HOW MUCH TIME will it take before the recovery begins.

FOR FIRST TIME BUYERS: The reduced prices and some foreclosure bargains allow for many FIRST TIME BUYERS to afford home ownership.

FOR SELLERS: For sellers trading up, what sellers lose based on previous values, they will pick up on the now lower values if they purchase an equal or greater priced home.

SHORT TERM SELLERS take the hit: The people who get hurt in market swings are the short term buyers and sellers. If you are a recent home purchaser and if you are forced to sell because of financial needs, a job transfer to another area and you do NOT replace this property with another property in the area, then you may suffer financially from the downturn.

Some of you remember, as I do, the real estate market in 1980 when interest rates peaked at over 18% interest on FHA 30 year Loans. There was recession then and a recovery period followed. During the market swings in the 1980s, there was another price correction followed by recovery. In the 1990’s we had the DOT COM boom, then another market correction, followed by recovery.

The TRUTH about real estate markets is this:

There is ALWAYS a market…good or bad.

There are ALWAYS buyers and sellers.

Any given market is determined by an offer from a willing buyer and acceptance from a willing seller.

Buying opportunities occur when there is less competition and increased inventory.

And such is our present market.
