Interest Rates vs Economical Downturn
Is it best to buy now or wait for the bubble to pop?
Interest rates are at a record low and in many metro markets like NY, SF, LA, real estate prices are at a record HIGH.
Is it best to buy now and take advantage of the extremely low interest rates or wait for the bubble to burst and buy real estate at a discounted price but likely at a higher interest rate?
Everyones input would be beyond appreciated.
Thank you all.

Buy and do what? Always buy low and sell high. There's only one NY and one LA. These markets have different rules, I also believe that we are still not at peak, record is just that, a record, it doesn't mean it couldn't go higher. I personally believe the last one is the worse and with all protection from banks/government, we might be extending the cycle from 7 years to 10-12.
