Is this the right time to buy real estate in US?

Re: Is this the right time to buy real estate in US?

Since you are on the hook for the entire loan amount, why should amount of down payment depend on if market has bottomed or not.

In most cases, arent market bottoms more obvious well after markets have hit a bottom? Do you have a feel for how much percent down from these levels the bottom is expected - 10%, 20% or higher?
