You just repeated the same thing in your comment. I'm guessing you left some words out or poorly wrote what you're trying to say. "not to panic buy houses" , "it's the best time to buy" are both telling you to buy.

[@mklr482]

[@joeschneider3894]

Dave: I don’t hear an emergency hear for you. I do want you to buy in the next three years, but not in the next three months. This guy with the word “facts” in his name: Dave wants you to panic and buy something immediately because he’s selfish and wants your money.
