We have a rental in Cypress,TX and are not interested in selling but would like to know if it is worth it to

hold the property if the market conditions could decline further in this area? Would it be wise to consider that if we really didn't have to sell, then stay put?

I would recommend that you should hold on to your rental property for the time being. Now is a great time for you to refinance your property possibly and purchase another rental property. Think of the Monopoly game. Buy up as many properties that you can afford. This is a strong buyers market but soon, the tide will turn.

Hi Esther,

I would hold on to your property. The market will no go down - it si stabilizing and will stay steady for a while. Take another look 10 yrs from now.

Hope this helps.

Esther,
Are the prices declining in the area where your house is. If you see the neighborhood turning to mostly rentals, and people not caring for their yards you may want to sell now. some landlords do not care for their homes and the values do decline.
You can pick up another rental, a HUD owned, a REO, bank owned or distressed sale for another rental in an area that has not declined yet.
