This might sound a little odd actually, but now is a really great time to be thinking about making a move. Yes, I know, real estate doesn't look all that good at the moment: but then that's the time to buy. As Warren Buffett has pointed out, the way to get rich is to be fearful when everyone else is greedy and to be greedy when everyone else is fearful. Another way of putting this is that there are some great bargains out there right now.

Have a look at this Austin TX Real Estate site for example. I just did a quick search and here are a number of 3 bed 2 bathroom single family homes for $100,000. In fact, there are such bargains in Austin Real Estate that there's even a 3 bed for $52,500.

Not only does that sound a great deal better than renting, it looks like a pretty good investment too. Go and have a look around the site….maybe this is the bottom of the market and the time to be diving in?
