house hunting

This weekend Ming and I went house hunting. The market has definitley changed since I last looked at homes. Everything is so much more expensive (for a lot less) and the amount of interest in each home is phenomenal. Everyone wants to buy now and properties are getting 20 offers on them. *eek* It's a very stressful market and you can only hope that
1. you will find a place you like
2. the price you pay for it isn't going to make you forfeit your (future) kid's college education
3. the market won't tank later on so you didn't end up losing money on this investment in the future
