My PMC tells me the market is slow for 1 due to the time of year and 2 because their market had a big shift this last spring and summer.

Need to look at true comps within last 45-90 days, and/or discount older comps relative to market shifts. 

I'm waiting on the latest report to send to me.The market has already shifted from May to now.

An experienced investor with 50 properties and systems/employees to streamline it has different ideas of what a good deal is vs. a part-time investor with a full-time job looking at their first purchase.

The market is shifting to a buyers market with raising interest rates and properties sitting longer. 

Yes, if you're that person who bought the $730k median home in May and needs to sell now for some reason, you're definitely unhappy with how the market has shifted and probably not selling for $730k. 

Now is a good time to buy too as it’s shifted away from being a sellers market.

Quote from @Bob Willis: All I know is that in the summer of 2021 I couldn't find an HVAC guy to answer my calls or give a reasonable response time - now they show up the next day.This is exactly my point, although I have not noticed a shift in my market yet. 

Unfortunately, I have recurring conflicts with both of those times, so I’d be curious for your opinion on, assuming I make an effort to shift my schedule around one week, which one you would recommend I try to prioritize getting to (understanding that just attending a single meeting is very limited value to regular attendance).

Don’t get stuck on sideline too long – likely will be a 10-15% reduction, not a 50% reduction like 08-09Reasons why:Total market leverage was just 42% of mortgaged homes’ values — the lowest number on record.Wall Street has shifted from debt to equity in real estate and have thousands of homes fully paid for that they will sit on - huge ballast to home pricesLast 5+ years investors have had to put down 20%+ down payments and have a lot of skin in the game with current portfolio- not willing to walk away from thatAll of those loans are at 3-5% and only those who truly HAVE to sell will - everyone else will just waitHistoric lows in mortgage balances overdue, with loans 90 days past due pegged at just 0.5%.
