The best time is buy a house is when there are fewer buyers than sellers which will result in lower housing prices.

Below are some key factors that keep housing pricing low…
Pricing Trends
Have you realtor compare the historical sales prices in the area you like compared to the prices homes in that area are getting today.
Home Supply
Have your realtor see what the home inventory situation is for area in which you want to purchase a home. Sometimes the “Months of Supply” statistic will help. Month’s of Supply is a metric that looks at how much time it would take to sell all houses currently for sale based on current demand if no new homes came onto the market. In most cases this figure is around a six-month supply of housing. When it dips below 6 months than you may see some bidding wars for property in that area.
How Long Is the Home Selling Cycle
The longer houses stay on the market, the better for buyers because the pricing be more negotiable.
New Construction
