Tom answered:

Consider all options before making a decision. If you have the time, determine your price range, time you are willing to commute, and proximity to things that are important to you (schools, grocery store, shopping, churches, etc). Then look at what you can get for your money to match your needs. Don't rule out for sale by owner opportunities. The owner is more likely to lower the price if a real estate commission does not have to be paid, and you can negotiate a good price if you are patient; remember it is a buyers market and you have the advantage when it comes to negotiating. A home inspection by a certified inspector is important whether you buy directly from the owner or go through an agent. A real estate attorney can execute the closing. - Sat Mar 22 2008, 10:11
