The Credit Crisis = buy a house for cheap

I think its time to discuss whats going on in the market right now. Due to the current climate on Wall Street and the coverage that the "Credit Crisis" has received on the news over the past few weeks, it is probably not a great time for everyone to look for a house. Its also probably not a great time for anyone to sell a house.

What I am seeing is that there are plenty of people just casually seeing what available as far as inventory but not pulling the trigger. Obviously this is a good decision as we wait and see the direction of the market in the coming months.

However, there are two pieces of advise I can give those looking for a house: (1) don't be afraid to make a low offer, and (2) get listings of REO properties (properties owned by the bank after foreclosure).

Above I will discuss both.
