In my experience during the last recession, There was a short overlap between when gold and silver were starting to rise and the housing market was tanking. In May of 2010 Just as we witnessed housing prices bottoming out, Silver and gold started there climb to there all time high's. Housing prices lingered for a short while at the bottom and started to rise. I noticed a small window of about 6 months where peak silver and gold prices and low housing prices over lapped. This is when we bought our home. Although we got a great deal, it will be nothing compared to this next crash. Which actually is the finish of the last.
This was our find, 3/2 on an acre in central Florida.
Look for housing to drop first.
Silver and gold to start there climb a few months after.
We sold our precious metals on the down slope after the peak.
Then made our home purchase just as the rise started.
Knowing what I know now, selling PM's on the up side before the peak would give you the best price chance in the housing market.
Just know that waiting for the peaks was our indicator at the time. And it made it easier to spot and time. Keep in mind this was almost 2 years after the greatest recession. Patience is key! Wait for it... Wait for it... It will come...
