Should I buy now or wait?



A common question asked by many folks considering the purchase of a home is always: “Should I buy now or wait a few months to look for market trends and then make a decision?”


My answer to the question differs each time because each family has a unique financial situation, social requirement, 5 year plan, family size, and estimated family income, etc.


That is where I come in and help each family to explore their situation. This has helped them make a decision on whether they should buy in the current market or wait.
