The current market presents a window of opportunity for buyers who are in the financial position to make a move. Experienced buyers know that softer or sluggish markets are when the most amount of money can be made, though it's critical to avoid being caught up in the numbers.
Many buyers become fixated on achieving the absolute cheapest purchase price. Not only will this lead to missing out on some great purchases, but it leads buyers to fall victim to the 'lemon' purchase. This is because during slower markets, there's a higher proportion of properties that have 'unfixable' issues or features that some buyers won't be able to handle.
