Dear Cd's,

It's that time in our life, when living in your own place seems more satisfying than renting(not to forget that cost of buying a house will catch up with rent in a good 20 years).:

So, slowly and gingerly we have started dusting the free home buying brochures and guides(which previously were used for making the chappathis on.. ):D

But, where do we start? Questions are plenty with few answers. :confused:
Deep down there is a fear of sustaining the new monthly payments Versus hanging onto our jobs, getting good interest rates, tapping into right buying market, avoiding bad neighborhoods.
Not to mention the fact that we are probably taking on the biggest debt of our lives.
The Good news is, there are so many of us in the same boat. :ylsuper:
As they say strength is in numbers, let’s all put our collective heads together and reach our “dream homes” safely and economically.

:announce: I propose that we use this thread to:
1) Inform and guide ourselves about the tips and tricks (so to speak) involved in home hunting.
2) As an online journal to Pen all our experiences here for the benefit of future home hunters.
3) Guard ourselves against being overpriced or misinformed or undersold by consulting each other.
4) Coordinate with all the experts on this forum like amit, narula, pramod etc.


Who knows? Maybe we can all create a Canadian desi home community.;)
