Timing the real estate market is really hard to do. 

Chances are you know someone who sold their home a few years ago because they were convinced the market had peaked and would be crashing soon. On the flipside, you probably know someone who has been waiting to buy for the last several years -- once prices correct. 

Real estate is a buy and hold investment. What the market does from one month or one year to the next can be hard to predict, but all signs point to rising home values over the long run. 

So, we recommend you buy or sell your home based on your personal circumstances, your life goals, and your aspirations. Avoid the trap of trying to time the market. Over the long haul, your property will prove to be a solid investment.
