Market Conditions going into 2018

Everyone always likes to act like an oracle and that they know what's going to happen. I don't know anything, but I can certainly speculate. The bottom-line is there are lot of buyers out there with money and there are not a lot of homes out there. There is a lot of demand which is a pressure for good home sales and appreciation going into 2018.

Why do I think this? Well, because I read and follow markets and pour through the MLS on a daily basis. 

Please read these attached articles and tell me if you think that's true as well.

Personally I think this is clear evidence that the market is strong and will continue to be strong through 2018 at least. No better time to invest than right now. Sometimes I don't understand why more people don't invest their IRAs or HELOCs into more aggressive higher return investments such as this: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/517/topics/49...

These investment opportunities are no-brainers.
