Sell Stocks to Buy Land?

[Lisa Treadwell]

Here's a thought....read an article, and the takeaway was to sell stocks high and buy real estate low. As a real estate agent, I can understand the small window where that could happen. I read about the "January Effect" and am thinking this might be a good opportunity.

I'm looking at buying 2 lots in a developing area, where the county is adding septic. The 2 properties are next to one another and look to part of a new home community-or at least adjacent to one.

Thoughts on selling stocks to buy and hold land for a year or so?
