How to predict market changes?

[Lawanda Curtiss]

Hey BP,

How can you tell when the market will change? I would like to buy and hold, but I am having a hard time finding a good deal.  When I run the numbers, nothing seems worth it.  I purchased my own home in 2009 for a great price.  I know that was a long time ago, but naturally I am comparing every deal I find to that one.  Nothing I find is even remotely comparable to it.  How can I know when the market will change again so that I might find better deals than whats out there now?
