Are a lot of my clients waiting on the sidelines instead of buying right now?  

Honolulu days on market may be a little higher right now but if you’re lowballing offers and never get a deal inked you could end up on the sideline when the market bounces back... in the grand scheme of things 20-30k off a 700k property isn’t much.

Take advantage when others are just sitting on the side lines. 

Hang in there what makes each us different are those of us that actually took the leap versus those who just sat on the sidelines and never took their shot.  

If a house is on the market between now and the end of the year, that seller is motivated.Some investors are sitting on the sidelines, not wanting to “catch a falling knife”…what a Northern California-based investor who owns 3 Phoenix-are long-term rentals told me last month.So, what’s the best strategy now?

Some always seem to want "more" and they end up sitting on the sidelines waiting for unicorns.

Most of those custom/spec builders are on the sidelines right now though given what's going on in the market. 

Some people if they can’t hit a home run then they sit on the sideline.

Not many investors can make the numbers work, so they’re waiting on the sidelines hoping for a 20% drop in prices.

There wil always be people throwing flags on why it's a bad time to buy... and they'll probably stay on the side lines.
