Yea! Home Prices Hitting Bottom. Now, the Bad News.


 



This is a great time to buy a home in many parts of the country. There are signs that the downward price spiral is bottoming out. Mortgage rates are at historic lows.





The next few years could well be remembered as the best opportunity for Americans to buy homes since the postwar baby boom.





But one group's opportunity is another group's problem. Tens of millions of baby boomers and other home owners have seen their equity shrunken or wiped out completely. Many were counting on their homes to help finance their retirements. Often they have been waiting for years for the market to turn. Now they find themselves on the short end of the deal, sellers into the buyer's market of the century.

There are plenty of factors why one should spend money on property when there are other methods for making an investment.
