Is now a good time to buy or sell a home?
If you are buying and selling a home, the ideal market is really one which is falling for a short period of time. This means you may sell the property you own for less, but you should save more on the one you purchase, so you benefit financially.
Typically though, for anyone buying or selling, it doesn't really matter too much what's happening market wise. When prices are going up, it's easier to sell your property and although you may have to pay out more for the larger property you are buying, you still get to move and over the long term, will benefit as prices rise. If prices are falling you also do well as you sell your property for 10% less than it was previously worth, for example a £150,000 home sells now for £135,000.
