Provocative title for an article isn't it? I got your attention, though.

Have you ever considered that buying and selling a home is very much like dating? We've all done it, successfully and not so successfully. But there are many parallels between dating and home buying. This is not my original thought, but, rather, the thesis of a fascinating book I am reading. The book is really for anyone who has an interest in real estate, and especially those engaged in the search and/or who are currently owners of a home.

We are in a time when there seems to be more interest in home buying - what we buy, how we buy, where we buy, why we buy - than at any other time. Everyone is talking about real estate and the market. But why is it of such great interest?

SEX AND REAL ESTATE, WHY WE LOVE HOUSES, by Marjorie Garber, is worth a read.

It will give you a different perspective on the process of buying and selling, and in particular the emotional side of that process. Perhaps it will give you some insight into your own feelings about owning a home, or engaging in the hunt for a new one.

I'd be curious to hear what you have to say once you've read it.
