It can always be a good time to invest, if you know what you are doing and have clear goals and understanding of your risks.
Currently, all of my invested money is spread across thirteen mutual funds with a heavy investment in international funds.
We are at the top of a housing bubble. If you are planning on staying in your house for 10 years, it is probably a good idea, as long as you get a home you can afford. If you are staying for 6 or less it will be a major loss.
This is assuming that the dollar does not collapse, if the dollar collapses, the value of the house will utterly collapse, but it will be a really inexpensive place to live. Lots of very interesting things will happen if the dollar collapses.
If you can get a better rate on your student loans, it is always a good time to refinance. But if you are thinking about getting a house, you probably shouldn't.
