Ask Property: Our home's value dropped and my spouse won't stop spending, should I be concerned? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Question: I've been having a disagreement with my husband about our financial position, and I'm writing in to see if you can help me understand how the housing slump is impacting our view on our household financial position.

As the property market drops, premium buyers are quietly upsizing (opens the original)

Read excerpt
Question: I'm 63 and I've been stuck in the rental cycle since my divorce a decade ago. We sold our family home and split the proceeds, but once the balance was used to pay the remaining balance on the mortgage, I wasn't left with enough to buy a home big enough for my adult kids to come back and visit and now feel like I've missed the boat. What are my options? Answer: I'm not going to sugar coat it. All the data points to it being almost impossible to get back into the property market, and the
