the most shopping i've done in a long time

We’re shopping for houses. And I must say it’s all a daunting and scary process. I start at my new job in exactly one week from today, and with that comes the income for our major purchase. We’ve definitely found some major contenders, but in the current down real estate market, most of them are “short sales” and the process is anything but normal for a buyer. I have tried my best to counter my fears by loading myself with powerful information, and thanks to the vast amounts of it on the web, I think we might have put ourselves in a position to make a very educated and wise offer.

So we’ll either be jumping soon… or wiping away the tears.
