Houses have become an investment these days instead of a home. Many years ago your house was home. It wasn't purchased primarily as an investment.
Today, most people still purchase their house because they want a home of their own. However, because mortgage interest is tax deductible, and because newer mortgages have allowed people to buy more expensive homes for less money down, and because real estate appreciation has out paced inflation, houses have become an investment as well as a home.
Before you begin your home shopping spend sometime talking to yourself. I know others will wonder about your sanity but do it anyway.
