I recently read a great article written by Dan Kadlec in TIME Magazine titled Ignore the Headlines.

If you were to believe everything you read and heard these days, it might give you good reason to believe that the world might be ending soon. “Sitting on your thumbs” is how Dan Kadlec expresses what many buyers are doing these days.

THIS IS THE TIME TO BUY! BUY EVERYTHING YOU CAN! This is a great real estate market in Cincinnati right now. Home prices are about as low as they’re going to get. Interest rates might be as low as they’re going to get. This article has a great comparison of what you may lose by “waiting to see the bottom” or “sitting on your thumbs.”

When the market actually hits bottom, you’re not going to realize it until it has already started on the upswing. What are you waiting for? Although the 12 inches of snow we’re predicted to get this weekend says it is still winter, as a real estate professional I’m already seeing the spring market peek it’s head out with increased showings on properties and more active buyers and sellers.
