4.0 out of 5 stars
Good advice, but requires work to follow,
By A Customer
This review is from: Timing the Real Estate Market (Paperback)
Mr. Campbell has written a clear, easy-to-read, and concise book on how to time your local real estate market so you can know when to buy or sell for the most profit. However, following the steps in his book will require that you spend some time and energy locating and tracking the 5 monthly statistics for your market which need to be tracked in order for you to tell when you are at a market peak (time to sell), or a market bottom (time to buy): Existing home sales, building permits, foreclosures, interest rates, etc. must all be tracked if you are going to follow what he calls The Campbell Method. Still, if you're serious about saving or making tens of thousands of dollars which are readily available to anyone willing to take the time, you'll do what he says.

An aspect of real estate investing overlooked by others,
This review is from: Timing the Real Estate Market (Paperback)
Robert Campbell has produced a unique work in the area of real estate books. While there are a lot of books that concentrate on purchasing in the right location and at the right price, this is the first one that points out the right location is of no help if the real estate market is in a downturn. "Timing the Real Estate Market" looks at the real estate market in a perspective similar to stocks, bonds and other investment vehicles. From this perspective there are cycles where prices rise and fall. The author examines not only the cycles of the past but the indicators that preceded each event. Using these "vital signs" he walks you through case studies on how to determine when to buy and when to sell. Finally, Robert Campbell discusses the ten cardinal rules of the system so that you can't go wrong. If you are planning to invest in real estate you owe it to yourself to purchase this book so you understand the trends and how they affect real estate ups and downs. After you have read this book and understand when the market is in an upswing, get one of the other books that discuss location and other important factors so you can get added return by buying the right piece of property.

Enlightening and Useful!,
By Ron (North York, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Timing the Real Estate Market (Paperback)
This is an excellent book on learning the ins and outs of Real Estate Market Timing. It is informative, practical, and highly usable. Not only did it do a fantastic job of explaining the nuances of the Real Estate Boom-Bust cycle, but also more importantly it teaches you how to construct your own market charting indicators that are based on real estate "vital signs" which the author had done extensive research on. Moreover, the book also points out the common investment mistakes people make and offers plenty of explanations of early warning signs that any astute real estate investor would want to be aware of. This book is a must read for those who want to get a true feel of what the real estate market is telling you and then profit from it. Highly recommend!
