folks, thanks a lot for many of the comments. After a few days, my wife and I reached an agreement, not to buy now, but to buy in November and no later than that, not a condo, but a house we’ll like and live for a decade. I had delayed the buying a few times starting from last Dec, then March, then July, now Sep. wife wants to move on, settle down, be done with the housing market, and I agreed. I think Nov would be better than now to buy. I appreciate all of your concerns and best wishes to you all!
