Whether buying in a newer or older building is a matter of taste and personal preferance. Prices eventually will stop dropping, and with good interest rates; who knows how long they will stay as such, there hasn't been a better time to buy.

Before making any purchase - whether a home or condo, new, old whatever - you have to evaluate why you are purchasing. Generally speaking, if you plan on staying in a particular property for at least 5 years and you can get a good deal, it's a good investment. Keep in mind also that an older unit will probably have lower property taxes because of the age of the unit. At the end of the day, a good deal is a good deal. Even if the prices continue to decline, they won't do that forever. Trying to time the real estate market is almost like trying to time the stock market; next to impossible. You should hire a buyer rep to work FOR you instead of merely WITH you to help you make the decision. You're paying a commission already so why not take advantage of the market conditions. If I can assist you in some way, please feel free to contact me.
