I was thinking about how this recession compares to the last one. The unemployment rate in Massachusetts was 9% in the early 90’s, and today it is about 6%. We also had about three times as many properties on the market here on the Vineyard.
If you are sitting on the fence, knowing in your heart that this is your chance of a lifetime to own property here but reluctant to get into the game because you think the market will go down more, you may be right. But you may regret it. If this is really your dream, do yourself a favor. Calculate exactly what your savings would be if you bought that perfect property you’ve been watching now, versus perhaps waiting until the market drops another point and you have to settle for something else. We all know the old saying, 'don't let life pass you by'.
