What do these numbers mean?  Is it a good time to buy? Is it a good time to sell. It all depends on your individual situation.  I would rather buy in a buyers market and I would rather sell in a buyers market if I have to buy another home with the proceeds.  I am a fan of the NORMAL market – everyone can feel more comfortable and real estate transactions are not as stressful.
