Can you predict the right time to buy and sell? When you turn on the news, you hear the national statistics about the market going crazy, but what about your local market?

What are the pros and cons of purchasing a home in today’s market? Real estate is topsy-turvy right now, so you should be aware of what it can offer and the risks that come with it.
