The best time to buy property is the time you determine is a good time for you. That makes sense, right? There are always opportunities to purchase property. In the United States, there is always a distress sale somewhere. All of these features create opportunities you can't predict by looking in your crystal ball. You'll know when the best time is to buy; it might not even be a time when you're expecting to buy something. But if you sense that it is right, no one knows better than you.
