The best thing about Real Estate is its cyclical nature and its ups and downs. Imagine if property was a stagnant commodity there would be no price gains and NO PROFITS. If you look at the price trends of any real estate Market for past few years or for that matter past many years, you’ll see the price graph going up and down and certainly for a seasoned investor, the right time to pounce is a down market. Buying when everyone else is selling can be rewarding ,provided you have enough patience to support your decision of investing. Buyers have an edge in a down market as when the sales transactions are slow, the market is full of available properties for sale and the prospective buyer definitely has an upper hand and opportunity is served cold. With options enough to confuse and come to a decision it is important to have foresee and to know which area and the type of property will bring profits at the end.
