This is such a great time to buy! My little sis got in on a shortsale and they were able to get far more house for their first home than they ever imagined they could. Good luck house hunting!

Oh- and as a person who had a job where they told people 'bad news' about their recent home purchases, I'd advise you to call the City to learn about zoning before you buy. Don't assume a real estate person will do this for you. They don't. They don't want to find out anything that might kill the deal and if they DO know that, say, a major shopping center is going in across the street they are supposed to tell you. To avoid the conflict, many just don't ask. It only takes a few minutes to ask about any potential zoning or construction issues that might crop up around you but it can really save you down the line.

Thanks so much cynthia! We have a great realtor and a great broker who both are more concerned about us being happy than the commission... which I LOVE! Our realtor told us today that a house we were looking at making an offer on needed a permit for something which would cost such and such dollars... we love that he's on the ball!
