Good morning, Brian England ~ you're right about this being good for first time buyers, but there's also some "meat" in there for second or third time buyers.

John McCormack ~ good morning, John... and thanks. Nice you see you back... I was beginning to miss seeing your smiling face in the Rain.

John McCormack ~ hi John... I was aware of Debbie's situation and was following her progress reports on FB. You've both been on my mind throughout this ordeal and hopefully after October it will be smoother sailing going forward.

In case you don't follow Debbie on FB.  She broke both sides of her ankle badly in early spring.  After surgery, things snowballed downhill with complications.  I had real estate by myself in a very hot market and taking care of her needs.  Blogging was the last thing on my to do list.  More surgeries are scheduled for October, we hope to slide back into the blogging and commenting world as we can.  It's been a ride for sure!

This sounds like a great guide to home ownership.  Just beacuse summer is gone doesn't mean people should put their house shopping on hold.

You have some great information for buyers Nina. I especially like the one about buying this fall and not waiting.

Sybil Campbell ~ thanks, Sybil... I'm very much of the school of thought that the longer people wait to buy, the more it will cost them in the long run.
