Junebug, I am totally with you on that. I also live in the bay and at one point I thought about finding a condo or townhouse. Nothing big or fancy, just something in my price range. Well it turns out there isn't any! I am moving to pleasanton where my friends just bought a SMALLLLLL condo for $700,000. A CONDO of about 800 sq. feet. I tried to talk them out of it because the price will cap and soon. No one will pay more than what they did for that condo. It's not a sound investment but that's what it looks like out here. I want to move to indiana or arizona..for more reasons than one. |

Anyway, Frank Lloyd Wright homes in Chicago are uber expensive - upwards of 500k to 750k to 1mil. My average bungalo by Midway Airport which is technically 2 bedrooms and one bathroom last appraised for around 400. Since we added on another bathroom/bedroom/living room its much more. |
Vainchick & Missy, I think the California real estate bubble will eventually pop, and all the people who bought million-dollar shacks are going to lose equity. We are the lucky ones, really, because we don't have a $4000 mortgage, and we can actually afford the Haagan Daaz and not the Safeway Select! Just be patient, and we'll eventually get our houses at the right price. :) |
Vainchick, come to wisconsin. its affordable and ill show you around. You can get a really nice 1500 sq ft house here for the low 100's |
I'm orginally from Staten Island, New York. Almost 8 years ago we sold our duplex for $215,000. I thought that was great. We moved to New Port Richey, Florida and bought a small house 1500 sq ft for 56,000. We then sold it and had a 2700sq ft house built. 4 bedrooms 3 baths, LR,DR, Family rm., and in-law suite on 1/2 acre. Its worth close to $400,000. My 19 yr old son tried to purchase a very small home that needed TLC last May 2004, but he lost his job the day after he put a bid in. It sold for 62,000 and then 3 months later went back on the market for $120,000. Prices are getting high here (not like california, thank god) but the difference here is people don't make a lot of money either. |
Here a house is usually around $100,000 and up but sometimes cheaper |
hi all im from uk the prices are so high over here that many younger people cant aford to buy, a average 3 bed 1 bathroom is £280,000 which is about $560,000 if you want one with 2 bathrooms your looking at bout £350,000 $700,000, so as you see its expensive to live in the uk and we dont even get the weather ha ha :money: wendy and rosie :rose: |

2100 sq foot around here would be $175,000 to $180,000...My husband works for a design build firm in Pinehurst and they build anywhere from $800 thousand to 2.2 million...these are very large homes...5,000 sq. foot and up....we live out of town where land is cheap...that helps bunches! I've got a 1700 sq. foot on 1/2 acre that we built...home and land $147,000 |
In Redding California ( northern California) my daughter and her husband just bought a 1800 sq. ft. home for $320,000. They've been married 1 year. right before they got married my son-in-law had just purchased a home for $156,000 and in 1 year they sold it for $270,000. Its starting to get crazy here too. :( |

**Charleston, SC** My parents bought a 2 story colonial style 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath house with a sunroom, breakfast room and 2 car garage back in 1994 for $104,000 (I think) Just this week, their nextdoor neighbors, who have a very similar house just with no sunroom and a 1 car garage instead of two, affecting the over-the-garage bedroom to be nonexistent....anyway, the same but slightly smaller - it sold for $269,000. And that's in a really upscale neighborhood with full country club tennis courts, pools, playground, soccer field, basketball court and sand volleyball. I know that's cheap compared to California, but trust me, that's still expensive. And I know my parents' house is worth a good deal more than that one, yikes! My hubby and I are looking to move back to the area and are scared of buying a house! |
My boyfriend and I bought a house a year and a half ago. We live in southern cali. the house was a little over a year old. 4 bdrm 2 ba 1742 sq ft we bought it for 260,000. |
I guess I should be glad I live where I live, I bought my 1,950 sq ft, 3 bedroom, full basement, garage, nice size kitchen and dining room but only one bathroom on three acres for $50,000.00. My house will be paid off before my 6th grader graduates. I don't make as much money a year as I would if I moved to Milwaukee or Chicago but I have great neighbors and a very small school, K-12 all in one, with a max of 25-30 kids per classroom. |
