There is a general death of common sense in our society today.
It extends way beyond just house buying. It seems to permeate everything people do. It’s as if our whole society is on auto-pilot.

What you’re talking about is how emotional a home purchase is. It seems emotions and rational thinking are at odds in the human condition.

That voice in your head saying, “are you nuts?” is great, qwerty, because it means you’re still alive and kicking! You haven’t succumbed to the sheeple mentality.
