This post reminded me a little of my real estate agent's newsletter:

2007: There's never been a better time to buy! 2008: There's never been a better time to buy! 2012: There's never been a better time to buy! 2020: There's never been a better time to buy! 2022: There's never been a better time to buy!

The phrase over the years is more like “buy now or be priced out forever.”

Recessions are good times to take risks since people are afraid and while capital isn’t cheap this time around, assets are.

My agents:

All years: There’s never been a better time to sell!

In other countries the agents only make commissions from the seller not the buyer, hence getting the listing is the big thing.

Assuming you are referring to the US, buy side real estate agents get paid by the sell side real estate agent (technically the real estate seller pays commission to the sell side real estate broker, which then pays the sell side real estate agent and the buy side real estate broker which then pay the buy side real estate agent).

Only superseeded by hearing from friends "house prices never go down, there has never been a better time to buy"
