ROLLERCOASTER RIDE!!!


The residential real estate market went on quite a roller-coaster ride in the past decade, rising to mid-decade peaks only to fall into the trough it remains in as of late 2009. While it may seem like real estate prices will never rise again - just like it seemed that they would never stop rising earlier in the decade - the real estate market is, at its heart, cyclical, and what goes down is bound to rise again.

Many experts believe that the market will continue to fall through mid-2010 but will find a bottom by the end of the year. The exception: extremely distressed real estate markets in California, Nevada, Arizona and Florida, which are likely to continue to fall into 2011. In the longer term, a number of factors - including interest rates, foreclosures, currency valuations and unemployment rates - will determine how quickly home prices begin to appreciate again.
