Yes, there are some homes currently for sale that are overpriced for today’s market. As a Buyer, you have a couple of safety nets to protect you from overpaying for a property.
First, make sure you are working with an agent who knows the area you are interested in very well. Your agent will have a good idea of what a property is worth and also be able to provide you with a comparable market analysis of the property you are considering.
Secondly, your mortgage company will send out an appraiser to appraise the property you have put a contract on. With all the foreclosures, short sales and mortgage fraud situations we are dealing with now; it is not very likely that an appraiser will appraise a property for more than what it’s worth in today’s market! Should a property not appraise at or above the contract price, you do not have to go forward with the purchase or you and the Seller can renegotiate the purchase price.
So Buyer’s yes, it is a very good time to be buying.

The new research indicates that international buying activity in the U.S. is widespread. NAR estimates that between 150,000 and 190,000 homes were sold to foreign nationals from May 2007 to May 2008. Recent foreign buyers purchased properties in every state and the District of Columbia. You can get still more information about home buyers which I browsed on internet can fetch you help.
