Do keep in mind that salesmen will always tell you "they're going fast." It's a standard pitch to get your commitment. I agree with almost everyone here that buying a home is probably wise however and also with the few that worry about the whole "consent" issue. It always concerns me to hear a woman use phrases like, "My husband won't let me . . ." or I need to get my husband's approval." Marriage is, or should be, a partnership, not a dictatorship.
