A Buyers' market is a trade up market. Falling home prices are a great opportunity for move up buyers. Even though your home sale price may be lower, the smaller loss of rate can be compensated by greater savings at purchase. If home prices dropped by 5%, here's what it could look like if you decided to trade up:
OLD HOME PRICE = $200,000
Sell at $190,000 = $10,000 - less
NEW HOME PRICE = $400,000
Buy at $380,000 = $20,000 - savings
