Houses and money and jobs oh my

We are looking at buying our first home. With the market being good right for buyers and the rental market being awful ($1200 a month for a two bedroom hole in the ground) we have decided that its a good time to purchase. Houses and condos are over priced here; $400,000 for a little home with no yard, condos are lame. So we're looking at buying a 2004 model modular home with a view of the Okanagan Lake and Kelowna. Not to mention the fact taht its two blocks from an Elementary School and my parents' house. If all goes well we're going to have an awesome place soon.
