MORE GLOOM & DOOM? Recently on the Today Show, during a segment on the national real estate market, CNBC's Jim Kramer uncompromisingly stated, "now is the absolute worst time to buy a house!"
Here's what Gary Keller, co-founder and chairman of Keller Williams Realty had to say about holding off on buying and waiting out the current market:
"First, residential real estate is not a national market product--it is a local one. To say that this is either a good time to buy or a bad time to buy real estate is like saying the national weather forecast for the USA today is 92 degrees--it is a useless and irrelevant perspective. What is happening in your local market is all that matters.
Second, trying to predict when it is a good time to buy , or not, means you're trying to time the market. Staying on the sidelines is the surest way for most people to never time anything correctly.
Last, and maybe most important--there are always two markets in every market. There is the market of properties that are good buys and there is the market of properties that are not good buys. Interestingly enough, this is true in either buyer or seller markets. To categorically say that this is the time to buy or not is absolutely ignoring the fact that every market really has two markets inside it."

When is a Portland area escrow really closed? An escrow is really closed when the deed is recorded and funds are available. Unfortunately, the word closing can be misunderstood. The perception of closing to a buyer or seller may be when they sign the papers. This is a misnomer. When the buyer and seller sign; it is just that, signing. It can be anywhere from 24 to 72 hours (sometimes longer) before the file is actually closed.
