Here are some other tips for doing your best in timing the real estate market:
Tip #1 Use Your Resources to Get the Best Information about your Market
Ultimately the best advice I can give you on timing the real estate market is to actively know what’s going on in the real estate market. And that’s going to come back to having a good quality real estate professional that you know and trust.
They can keep you aware of the properties that are sold in your neighborhood. You can see details like the final sales prices, but you don’t necessarily know square footages or closing costs or other incentives that went into the sale. So it’s not always an apples-to-apples comparison on neighborhood properties.
This is where having someone that you really know and trust who can give you the right details is extremely helpful.
Tip #2 Look at Bigger Markets to Help Predict your Local Market
EX: Charlotte, NC
One really big advantage that we have here in the Charlotte market is that our market tends to trend a year or two or even three years behind what’s going on in some of the bigger national markets. So when those markets dip a little or go up a little, we tend to see what’s going to happen in our market in the next couple years.
That’s a pretty big advantage if you actually want to try to time the market as best you can.
