2) Lower Real Estate Prices – Real estate is a finder’s paradise during recession as very few people are interested in properties during this time. Since, the real estate prices go down during recession, real estate agents promote the available properties by selling them at lesser rates. This is a golden opportunity for people who have adequate cash to buy land. If the prices drop to a very low, then people might have to fight over the land in concern due to a very large number of buyers bidding to buy the land. Buying land during recession is a good way to bank for the future as available land in hand will come handy when the economy of the country stabilizes. So, it is a good decision to buy property during recession, provided the land is worth it and one has enough cash to buy it.
