Summary: Great book for anyone interested in the home buying process
Comment: Eric Tyson is a savvy writer with a wealth of knowledge that is shared in this fantastic book. I am a first time home buyer and purchased numerous books about the process; this one is by far the best. It served as my "jungle guide", and I found myself referring to this book on a daily basis for information. His chapters on gathering a solid real estate team, comparable market analysis, and escrow were particularly enlightening. Tyson's wit and the easy-to-read Dummies style proved a quick read and served to give me the confidence to discern what I wanted and ask the tough questions about one of life's bigger decisions. If there is ONE book to buy regarding home buying, buy this book.
Rating: 4
Summary: Informative and helpful
Comment: House Buying for Dummies is the reference guide you need if you are not knowledgeable of things like mortgages, escrow, etc. The authors explain things in simple, easy to follw terms, and give good advice. I'm so glad I read this book before starting the home buying process.
One of the best features of the book is the sample contract in the back. It helped my husband and I with wording. Overall, a good buy.

Summary: Only buy this book if you really are a dummy
Comment: This is the first "for dummies" book I've ever bought. It's also going to be the last. They're not kidding with the title. Instead of stating their point simply and clearly, the authors patronize the readers with silly stories. For example, instead of saying something like "do not buy a house that's too far from your work," the authors spend a paragraph telling a story of some poor dummy who did buy a house too far from his work and ended up hating everything. Oh, and BTW, if you need a book to tell you that you shouldn't buy a house that's far from your work, then this book is for you. The information presented is oversimplified, incomplete, and sometimes just incorrect. Moreover, this book will not help you at all if you're dealing with an unusual market, such as SF Bay Area, NYC, LA, etc.
I'm not in the real estate business, nor do I have any vested interest in anybody buying or not buying this book.
