Is it a Good Time to Buy a Home?
That would depend. It's hard to lump sum all buyers into one category when everyone is different, and what might be a good time for one buyer might not be for another.
If you're a first time home-buyer looking to buy a home in the San Fernando Valley, you probably have already missed the boat. Why? Because the number of available bank owned homes is down dramatically, and short sales homes are taking 4-6 months to close with multiple offers.
It's important to note that the bottom end of the market, single family homes priced between $250K to $400K, has already compacted and going up in price. In fact, I believe there are 15 buyers for every home in this category.
Homes priced between $400K to $729K are about to bottom out if not already done so. If you're a buyer looking to buy a home in the San Fernando Valley in this price range, you better move fast.
There appears some flexibility of homes priced over $729K.

Housing Prices Pick Up in California
The latest data, including two consecutive monthly gains in the median price of existing homes, has some industry officials hopeful that the state housing market has finally reached a bottom and is poised to recover from a prolonged period of declining residential values.
In April, California's single-family median home price rose 1.4 percent to $256,700. While that is still off by more than 36 percent from April 2008, the 540,360 homes sales on a seasonally adjusted annual basis reflect an increase of almost 50 percent over the same period, according to the state’s REALTORS® group.

$8000 Tax Credit Can Be Used As Down Payment
Tax Credit Can Be Used for Down Payment
Shaun Donovan, secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, on Tuesday said that the Federal Housing Administration is going to permit its lenders to allow home buyers to use the $8,000 tax credit as a down payment.
Previously, most buyers wouldn't receive the funds until after they filed their tax return, and that deterred some people from using the credit. The NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® has been calling for the change.
