e areas just before they peak and sell up just before the heat goes out of the market enabling them to again buy up what they can afford in the best areas thus positioning themselves ready for the next upward trend. And so it continues!
2)Slow Down Your Speculating
You may already have decided that the time is no longer right to be over extending yourself and you may have cut back on your property purchases, but remember that making any home improvement or taking on any renovation projects during a downward period of the property market is also considered to be speculating. Don’t just assume that capital appreciation from your property will justify home related expenditure right now…in a bear market it won’t.
3)Never Forget The Supply and Demand Theory
Property prices don’t go up infinitely, if you examine the ebb and flow of the market in the US over the past decades for example, you will see that stand alone investment in real estate would’ve returned you gains of just over 1 percentage point above inflation! There comes a point in every market cycle when the market runs out of investors willing to buy up at the top prices and there comes a point when first time buyers are frozen out of the market. As demand dries up, over supply brings down prices and this stops the entire market in its tracks. If you remember this fundamental fact and examine the movement of the market closely and carefully you will be able to see when supply is about to outstrip demand, you will be able to watch first time buyers reigniting the market, you will understand when the time is right to sell and when the time is right to buy.
