Good Time to Buy?  Most Americans Think So
 
According to the results of a recent Reuters/Zogby poll, a majority of Americans think now is a good time to buy.  However, few respondents believe the US will be able to escape a recession.
The poll of 1,049 likely voters, conducted April 10-12, found that:
 
  • 53.8 percent thought this was a good buying opportunity as home prices have fallen sharply in many parts of the country.
  • 41.6 percent said it was not a good time to buy, and the rest were unsure.
  • 71 percent of those polled thought the U.S. economy was in recession.

The survey had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.
