Will Rogers on Real Estate"...out here I had been putting what little money I had in Ocean Frontage, for the sole reason that there was only so much of it and no more, and that they wasnt making any more..." April 13, 1930 (Note: this is the line that is often paraphrased to say: put your money in land, because they aren't making any more of it. This is the most "famous" of the Will Rogers quotes on land or real estate.)

If you're a buyer you may want to become an owner before the market leaves you behind.  Also interest rates are still around 4% which is fantastic.  Mortgage rates were 14% when I started selling real estate in the 1980's. They may not always be this low.  And chances are, prices will continue to go up, as they have, since the Great Depression.
