    Sorry to hear about your divorce. Been there and done that about 15 years ago. Understand about having to sell your home to divide up funds. However, I would advise that you are coming into a very transitionary period of your life. Alot of things will be different although the change will not happen all at once. There are alot of strong reasons why patience would be prudent at this time with respect to purchasing a home. I could not advise strongly enough to find a nice place to rent while you adjust to your changing life. There are alot of things that can and will happen over the next few years BUT one of them will not be a run away real estate market to the high side. You kind of see what I am saying? The risk of missing out on appreciation is very low by sitting, while the risk of depreciation if you do make a purchase is very high. The fact that you will be having alot of transition in your life is another factor that should not be ignored. Conversely it should be a priority.

    What happens if you bought, meet someone else, settle down, and the house is not suited for your needs then? Housing is for long term so I suggest saving, renting, and picking up one for investing if you like RE that much. Other than that I wouldnt rush into anything especially after a divorce where you could make a move that you may regret later. Good luck.

    Perfect pitch, Adam. I read a similar suggestion a long time ago.Basically the message is, make as few big decisions as you have to around a death, divorce or deployment, until some time has passed.
    “Different strokes for different folks”, rule applies of course.

    Wait until you’re more settled before buying. In the meantime why not rent a condo downtown or right on the beach and have a little fun?
