Summary: Enlightening and Useful!
Comment: 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!

Summary: I learned a lot from this book...
Comment: First off, I just want to say that this is a wonderful book and has some really great concepts.
The essence of "Timing the Real Estate Market" is stated on page 6: "The Campbell Method asks you to look at the market objectively, not emotionally. It requires you to step away from your own personal beliefs, opinions and biases about what you would like the market to do, and focus instead on what the market is telling you to do."
Brilliant...this is not just great real estate investing advice...this is great investing advice...period.
Mr. Campbell went on to state (page 97): "Real estate timing is not about buying a home at what you "think" is a good time -- or what you "think" is a good price -- when the chances of the market rising higher in the very near future are only so-so. This approach is like betting on the spin of the roulette wheel. Instead, you want to use The Campbell Method to buy a home not only when prices are low, but also at a time when probability is high that home prices will appreciate almost immediately."
Then: "...once you buy a property -- whether it's a home you live in or a rental property, your entire focus must shift to the only thing that is within your control: knowing when to sell for the highest price."
Loved the book and I'm looking forward to utilizing the techniques.

Summary: Good advice, but requires work to follow
Comment: 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.
