Trump: Best Real Estate Investimg Market Ever Is Now

I saw this banner ad on a Yahoo Finance page yesterday. Donald Trump is offering a free seminar on how to invest in real estate. If you go to the site, you are greeted with a video that proclaims "This is the best real estate investing market in the history of our country!"


You would think real estate properties are the last thing that any sane person wants to invest, given what has transpired since 2007.

Anecdotal evidence in the local residential real estate market shows there are buyers, a great many of them, buying across the board - from trailer homes to multi-million-dollar beach properties. Real estate professionals in the area say many of these investors are cash buyers, including foreign buyers, buying up short sales and foreclosures. Higher-end properties that are not short sales or foreclosures have started to move. The inventory level is actually back to where it was at the peak of the housing bubble: mere 4.6 months.

Is it possible that the real estate market is clearing, at least the residential market? Or is it just the banks are withholding the inventory and the worst is yet to come?
