In a perfect world where all variables are accounted for the reasoning of being able to identify a bottom prior to it happening is obviously appealing. However I believe there are so many external factors that affect the real estate market, i.e. politics, mortgage rates, foreclosures, unemployment, the broader investment market. All of these influence the decisions people make when it comes to real estate and I think it would be hard to accurately take them all into account to identify a market bottom and the decision to buy.
