We are far from the bottom of the slump. SA still needs to catch up to other markets in terms of the downturn. Buying now would leave you holding a property worth 20% less in a few months time…

I’m glad to see we are getting a break right now in the decrees of the housing market. I don’t think we are done yet though. The job market is still dropping and I expect to see another housing drop also.

It is arguably a great time to buy property, and as others have pointed out, if you can weather the storm and stick to it for the long haul. Home ownership has out performed most other investment vehicles historically. I am looking at purchasing another property soon.

I agree with content if you are able now is a good time to invest as there are signs the property slump is slowing and buying low now could work in your favour

Seems that now is the time to buy….when there’s “blood in the streets” as they say. It’s important to have a solid realistic plan for your new acquisition which includes the exit strategy. How long you will keep it, how you will manage it and what you will do with it during ownership are just a few questions that need to answered. Plan for the worst and hope for the best!

I agree. Now is a really good time to invest in property, if you can weather the storm.

You can easily buy property at 15-20% below asking price and when the market turns, you’ll be in the money.

Great article and blog.
