Yesterday, a co-worker of mine asked me a couple of questions about buying a house. You hear on the news that it's a great time to buy a house, but that's about as much as I know. We bought our house in Urbana almost a year ago, so I do have a little bit of experience on the subject.
As he asked questions about what I ran into, I realized how much I hated the entire process. I'm the kind of guy who goes to a car dealership and picks out the car I want and just buys it. There's no haggling, no gamesmanship, and no playing around. I want to leave as fast as possible with my car.
This is why I hate the home buying experience. You can't just say, "Hey, I like that house. Here is X amount of money. Get out of my house!". You have to go down 18 different paths for weeks to get things done.
I tried to help my co-worker with his questions, but quickly let him know that asking me for home buying advice is like asking a blind person to tell you about the Mona Lisa.
