Timing the housing market, when to buy and sell...
By Scott Rogers • December 15, 2008
Thanks to John for this insightful comment... "A great cliche about the housing market (and the stock market, too): Most people get in too late, and they get out too late. The second mistake has already been made by most. Don't let the first happen, too." John also suggests that "Trying to call a housing market bottom is folly." With that in mind, let's entertain ourselves by making wild guesses about December sales figures. :) November's market report will give you a context for your guess. There were only 40 residential sales in Harrisonburg and Rockingham County last month. How many will we see in December? 30? 50? 75? The closest guess will receive a small, but delightful, gift certificate to Old Dominion Coffee Company in downtown Harrisonburg. Feel free to leave your guess in the comment section below, or send me an e-mail.
