I never try to time the market, if the numbers do not make sense without appreciation - I skip the deals. This strategy served me well in the past, never losing money in the deal. And I saw all these crazy predictions about growth, appreciation, upcoming neighborhood, new businesses coming to town - lose lot of money in one way or the another.
