in 2012 if you are looking at buying or selling a home.
Historic Appreciation is 4% Nationally, but was -4% in 2011 * We were 24% currently below the trend line

Gary Keller – “If you go above or below the trend line, there WILL be a correction.”
This is THE Moment in History that rates are at their lowest

“Why should I buy when prices are down 30%?” Think Price vs Value.
Timing & Patience separates Investors from Speculators
