...that's the question.
The housing market has taken a huge hit here and the Mr and I are contemplating buying a house while prices are falling like crazy.
I've owned a house before, but I inherited it. This is a bit different, and I'm really afraid we're going to get raped by some real estate agent and/or mortgate company. We don't know jack about buying a house, and that just leaves the door open for us to get screwed...
We rent right now, and there's a part of me that's just fine with that. In fact, I'm having a hard time figuring out why owning a home is such a big deal. Am I missing something?
