I was planning to buy a home in 6 months. Assuming I retain employment, what should I consider before jumping in?

I’m thinking the housing market will ultimately contract - it’s just a matter of when. With the government suspending foreclosures for (I think) three months, it likely wouldn’t be until lenders start requiring payments or acting upon foreclosures.

My thought is that you will see slight price declines in the near term with increase in supply as unemployment goes up and people try to get out and salvage the value. Longer term (six months or so) the market will face serious headwinds and you will see significant foreclosures.

6-12 months. Official words on "we are in a recession" haven't come out loud yet
