Listening to the NAR (National Association of Realtors®, it is ALWAYS the right time to buy.  If the market is going up, they pound the “buy the rising market” drum.  If the market is going down, they beat on the “buy into value” drum.  Frankly, I’m tired of it, and they have killed a massive amount of credibility by constantly trying to spin reality for “our” perceived benefit.

A couple of years ago this week, I was on Social Media Edge, on Blog Talk Radio, talking with Ken Cook about this very thing.  I’ve had my strong opinions about this for quite a while.  And, while for some folks, it is a GREAT time to buy, for others it isn’t.  I haven’t ever been shy about saying it, even when I have taken flak from my peers for not “cheerleading the market”.

On Social Media Edge, we talked for about 20 minutes about this.  Here is a link to the original post, and it has links to the Blog Talk Radio site, as well as a podcast of the broadcast.  Stop in, check it out.

If you are wondering if NOW is the time for you to buy, give Lane a call.  678-200-5895.
