News roundup:
• If you're not getting married, but you buy property together, what you need to know about co-ownership. What's love got to do with it? Well, nothing, really. Get it in writing! [Urban Trekker]
• Mortgages are on their way up. Will that stop people from moving to South Florida and buying property? No, this area doesn't play by the same rules as the rest of the US. But that won't stop reporters from whining about it. [Realty Times]
• Buying a house is starting to turn into a high-priced version of opening a new bank account. Sellers are offering incentives such as art work, trips...new canoes (?)...should we hold out until the signing bonus for a new house is another new house? Two-for-one! [Real Estate Journal]
• Cher's house is for sale again. Someone else already owns it, but it doesn't seem like he ever lived there, so it's alright to still call it "Cher's house." Why such a fast turnaround? Because those Key Biscayne house values are outrageously high. [Miami Herald]
