[quote=svelte][quote=jpinpb]Buying a house is definitely making a commitment. Well, nowadays maybe not so much. Some people now have the mentality they can walk at any time, even if they own a house.[/quote]
In the sentences above, change the words “Buying a house” to “Getting married”, and the words “own a house” with “got married”.
Comparing marriage to buying a house is definitely fitting.
With a US divorce rate of 46%, I’d say people “short sale” their marriage at a higher rate than homes.[/quote]
That is a very interesting point.
I will need to think about that one.April 18, 2010 at 8:38 AM #540280urbanrealtorParticipant[quote=svelte][quote=jpinpb]Buying a house is definitely making a commitment. Well, nowadays maybe not so much. Some people now have the mentality they can walk at any time, even if they own a house.[/quote]

I think there would be more short sales and/or foreclosures if the banks would act on nonperforming loans and people not paying. I think the percentage would be greater than divorce.

I would say, divorce is 1000 times worse. That’s why I tell myself I need to be 100% loyal.
