I got to interview my namesake, Jonathan Miller who is the longtime author of the seminal publication Emerging Trends in Real Estate, the Urban Land Institute’s (ULI) annual commercial real estate industry forecast and speaks extensively on suburban and urban issues.

Our real estate lives have intersected for years.  For example, I would get complimented for a presentation at the Waldorf Hotel (although he gave the speech) while he would get inquiries about the NYC co-op condo market (which I track).

He is the co-founder of Miller Ryan LLC, a firm that provides strategic marketing communications counsel to the financial services and real estate industries.  He also writes over at GlobeSt.com on his Trend Czar blog.

Guide to Buying <b>Real Estate</b> No Matter the Market Trends

The market of real estate clearly changes depending on the concept of supply and demand. When a property is in high demand, the price tag becomes higher while when the property is freely available the price tag becomes lower. The trend has been down lately with the recovering economic crisis but is still a healthy ground for good buys in low prices. But before you find a property listing and buy what you fancy, make sure you follow these tips so you land the perfect property you need.

Make a checklist of the things you want in a property and note the three most important factors you would like to have in a real estate property. For example, you are considering buying a second house. You must have a garage, patio and three bedrooms for your family needs. And so concentrate on the three top most facilities you have listed in your checklist so you can narrow down the choices of property you have to choose from.

This could really save you time in sorting out the properties you need or not need.

You have to hear what the experts in real estate has to say. Of course, you are already clear in what you want to have as an additional property. But you need to know the local market and the people who knows the market. There are many real estate consultants that can give you an idea about the community around your chosen candidate properties and they can evaluate the technical aspects of your choices like location, utilities, facilities, market value, and many other considerations only the experts can tell you about.

Do market shopping and let the expert evaluate the choices. You have to hand everything to the consultant to be able to have a realistic comparison of all properties.

Market data can be so hard to sort out the relevant sales statistics. Community profiling can help in giving you an idea of the environment around your property. You also have to know about the duration of a sell to know the average pricing of the property.

Talking about the resources of your next property to be bought, you should be able to find time to talk with your mortgage agent or banker so you know you have enough credit and financial capacity to afford a new real estate buy.

The seller’s motivation can also help in choosing the right property among your filtered choices. A dark history of the property can be the reason behind the low price or a hidden garden of herbs can be the reason of the higher prices of the other. Whichever the case, always investigate the history of the property.

Condition of the property is almost a secondary factor in choosing the right property. Be afraid of not being able to find a property in good condition and reconsider those that have sound facilities. No use in buying cheaply but paying highly for renovations or additions in the property.

Many other factors affect the terms of your real estate property but these tips are enough for you to be closer to the real and available deal around. Always be patient in looking for a property and do not hurry as it is a considerable investment to have.
