I want a house so bad! J and I are on the hunt again. Our first go at this was about 2 1/2 years ago before we made the move to Little Rhodey. At first I loved the whole ordeal and it was like a little hobby, but after about a month or two, it just became stressful. We really wanted to settle into a home before we moved up here, but when you combine over-priced New England houses with a med student's debt and one little nurse's salary, it just wasn't in the cards.
Flash forward to today. I am SO glad we waited! Little did we know 2 1/2 years ago that the economy would pretty much tank. Actually, J knew it and he was right. House prices have dropped considerably (although they seem to still have a ways to go up here, if you ask me!) and interest rates are low...it is just a much better time to buy, for us. Our lives and jobs are a little more stable and we can finally combine two incomes to afford a little more house.
