For some reason, the ride reminded me of the real estate marketplace. The steady increase in prices and demand, a struggle to go higher in terms of number of sales, and home prices, then a leveling off at the peak, and then sheer terror and screaming as prices fall, and the bottom drops out of the market.
If you don’t have to sell, you have time to recover as the market and prices stabilize and begin climbing again. As a homeowner or investor, you should be in real estate for the long haul and not a quick buck. Few are successful in real estate as short-term players. While it does happen, from time-to-time, you’ll find more losers than winners using the short-term approach. The infomercial guys are not on TV in prime time for a reason.
