Remember as the Federal Reserves reports home prices only go up and always recover from recessions no matter how mild or sever. Long term owners should view this market right now as a unique buying opportunity with sellers flexible to sell their home. when it all shakes out, it is still more effective to buy versus rent based on skyrocketing rent prices beyond your control.
