I think it is an excellent time to buy if you can. Not so much a good time to sell. If I was in the market for a home I would definitely be looking. If I was able to buy a few homes to rent them out, I would also be doing so. It is for sure a long term plan but as long as the country doesn't implode it should be a good income producer for rentals down the road once the property is paid for and the house values should be back to where they were pre-housing bubble.
I'm with XRAC. I think it is going to be 6 to 10 years depending on your location. As usual, I think California will be the first to get back to pre-housing bubble prices. Some places may never get back to those prices and may be stagnant for several years (beyond 10).
I would take real estate right now over gold for long term growth and safety. Short term, I'll take liquidity or anything that produces income unless it is illegal of course.
