I hear you, Jackie
This recession affair is getting old for me too.
Somebody just stop it, make it go away!
I have an empty nest. There's no reason I need to pay for bedrooms that nobody's using, but I wouldn't even try to sell now.
I suppose it's a toss up. One can sell low but also buy low now.
Or sell higher and buy higher later.
I'm profit motivated. I'm sitting tight and holding on for dear life cause I want $$$ when I sell. Hell, I may not want to buy another home after all anyway.
After all of this blows over, I may just get myself a nice studio apartment, somewhere where I can hang my hat and pay $20 gas and electric bills and never to worry about raking leaves, shoveling snow, mortgage payments, water bills, heating, maintenance and repairs again.
But see, I've had my share of homes and my son is grown.
It sounds like you're starting out and this IS a good time to buy a home, but a lousy time to sell.
You may end up having to sit tight too.
Here in NYC, condos are probably selling even less than homes as they're apartments (albeit very nice ones), for the price of a home.
But don't give up, you never know. A buyer may show up when you least expect it.
Just don't bank on selling in a specified period of time because that IS just aggravating.
