Jono - are you saying this is a good time to be a buyer or to avoid the purchase of a home at this time? I think without knowing the specific market the OP is considering applying nationwide statistics is somewhat of a poor exercise. Personally, I wish I was in the market for a new home right now as the "power" has clearly shifted in the buyer's favor at this time.
