Another Bear Turns Bullish on Real Estate

Two weeks ago, I posted When the Prophet Says Buy – BUY! In that post, I explained that a major bear on housing, John R. Talbott, is now bullish on the real estate market. Last week, another bear turned bull.

Chris Thornberg, a former UCLA economist and a founding principal of Beacon Economics, was very skeptical of the housing market in 2007. However, in an article by the Orange County Register on January 13^th, he is quoted as saying that now is:

“…a great time to buy a home…If you’ve been thinking about buying a condo in Vegas or buying a condo in Miami, buy now.”

We started off 2012 with two of the biggest bears on housing converting to bulls and telling
us to BUY NOW! It might just be time to buy!!
