Will You Catch The Bounce When Property Markets Recover
As the property market seems to get worse by the day we are seeing a number of prominent investors sitting on the sidelines waiting for the time to pounce, the time to catch cheap property before the bounce, but when will this be? Is it possible to time it to perfection and create a substantial short term profit?
The fact is that those who are brave enough will probably catch the market before it bounces, only it could fall further before the bounce. This is always the danger if trying to catch a falling market, the false dawns, the short term relief and then back to the down trend. Many investors have been sucked n by a short term bounce only to see confidence and prices head south again leaving investment funds tied up for some time.
A number of experienced investors will look for a major sell off at the bottom of the market, where people will take crazy prices just to get rid of their homes. This has often seen sellers flushed out of the market only to see buyers move back in and pick up the peices. Alternatively others prefer to drip feed their funds into the market at different stages - a useful way of hedging your bets.
People will say they called the bottom of the market, but for every one who has called the bottom there will be another 100 who did not.
