The market is being hit hard right now, this could be bad for people who are trying to sell their homes, but if you are an investor looking to purchase a property for a good price, now is the time. This defiantely is a good opportunity to find great deals on forclosures. Especially if you are looking to keep the properties and rent them out. I have heard that prices are going to continue to come down in most areas, and this trend may last a while. It would be a good time to save up your cash and make some good purchases in a year or two.
