give it a month or 2, markets are gonna tank in the US (already are). canada being in close proximity will see some tanking aswell.

anyhow... do u homework.
find the area u want to buy into, calculate mortgage + taxes+ fees + water/sewage bills. see if u can live on that budget for 2-3 months.
plus if u have to commute to work, see if u can handle the commute (morning + evening)
more importantly, u want to have large down payment. if u dont have that, best bet is to save up and then some.

i bought a place last year,
needless to say, your lifestyle changes quite alot
