Were slowly gearing up to start looking to buy our first place, with an eye on the credit crunch and a hope for a softening market. We’d like an older 1+ or 2BR in one of the “south of the park” nabes – ideally Kensington or Windsor Terrace – for under $400K. Putting aside whether or not this is a pipe dream, can anyone give me some guidance on how to start looking – more to get a sense of the market and what’s out there than to snap something up – we have time. Do we just show up at open houses? Find a broker? Thanks!
