DWCAP no offense taken at all… It has nothing to do with market pricing. She does not value a home as an asset and as I said we are in a position where our next purchase will be a long term one until our toddlers grow into slackers that I can then boot out of the house.
It is simply the lifestyle of renting that she has grown well tired of. I have posted many times about it and will spare the board the minutae (probably mispelled).
I will not or cannot argue with anyone that the economics behind her decision are rational because they are not. We are a fortunate household that can afford to buy. However the crabby old man of the house, as I am most commonly referred to, refuses to let go of the economics behind the decision.

Matt I understand what you are saying… I have met plenty of crappy brokers. Consequently I have met plenty of asshole engineers as well as I am in that field. Granted the ratio of asshole engineers to asshole brokers is much less. In general higher education is common amongst engineers and thus self realization of when one is being a jerk is more common.
Yours is a story I hear all the time. Regardless of whether they are brokers or realtors or car dealers or whatever. Cannot argue with it at all. All I can say is there are good ones and bad ones and I know alot in both camps.
