Should I sell or hold in an over-valued market?

[Brandon Galloway]

Hello BP crew! I’ve got a dilemma, I’ll try to keep my question short and concise.

The housing market in my area (Austin Tx) is BOOMING! There’s almost zero inventory and buyers are paying far far above asking. It’s unreal. 

I bought a home several years ago inside the city and can likely sell it now for a ridiculous profit. 

My question for you seasoned real estate investors is, do markets like this ever go down? I understand that it might slow down a bit, but with everyone flooding here I can’t see how builders could ever keep up with the demand. Would it be more advantageous for me to just hang on to my property and risk the demand falling in the future? Or should I cash out while people are willing to grossly over-pay for a home? 

I’d like to squeeze as much money from my property as I can and it seems that right now people are willing to pay an extreme amount of money for homes just to be here.
