Housing Slump Poses Real Estate Investing Opportunities

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

Nationwide, single-family home prices in March dropped 14.1 percent from last year. It was the sharpest decline recorded since Standard and Poors began tracking the data in their Case-Shiller index some 20 years ago. What does this tell seasoned real estate entrepreneurs about future investment strategies? Now’s the time to start crunching some numbers.

Creative real estate veteran Ken Wade believes that there is nothing truly unusual about today’s housing market: There’s no crash, and the media focus on handful of markets is having a devastating impact on market psychology and prices. In reality, what we’re experiencing as real estate entrepreneurs, is the natural cycle that moves the market.

Since most U.S. housing markets were not subject to the price surges that are commonly associated with the real estate “boom,” Ken says, they’re holding steady during the “bust.”

Ken is the Harvard-educated numbers cruncher behind the Housing Alerts Total Market Master system for research-based real estate investing. He has spent much of his career tracking local real estate market trends and reaping the profits from his investments. Ken estimates that he’s done $100,000,000 in real estate deals over the past 30 years.

With Ken’s Total Market Master program and tools, real estate entrepreneurs can base their business decisions on the same types of proprietary data that the banks and major players use. Only with this system, the data are specifically tailored to fit the needs of an array of real estate entrepreneurs, regardless of investment strategy, experience or style.
