I know you must think I am crazy how can you buy now when the whole world is telling us the real estate market is a mess. Well most of the wealthiest people in the world made their money in the stock market when the market was down. There are a lot of people trying to time the market and wait for the bottom, the problem is we could already be there. Interest rates are the lowest we have seen in years but this won’t last forever. With an inevitable rise in interest rates any potential savings you hope to make in speculating where the bottom is will be offset. The best time to buy is when money is cheap and prices are affordable which is what we now have in the Tampa Florida real estate market.
