homes r overpriced especially cali
cska-moscow:
Yes that is very much true. In England the house prices have risen dramatically. Even in impovorished area's a house can featch £100,000 easily.
Don Seer:
indeed.. shits nuts over here...
i've just been to see a mortgage advisor.. i'm too not far off being able to get a small 2 bed house on my own now.. a lot closer than i thought.. need to save more to be able to do that though.. probably be next summer at this rate

And I thought prices were bad here. When my parents bought their house, it was like $80,000 for a 4BR/2 Bath. Now after 20 years, their house is worth $350,000 cause this is where all the celebrities live with million dollar homes. And my city isn't even on that list. Duluth barely pulled off #50 and that's damn near Canada.

my house was baught for £80,000 in 1986 my dad was thinking of selling it a few months ago it was valued at £500,000 that means on average its gone up 33% a year, although we did have an extension built which gave it an extra room upstairs and downstairs.

a 3 bedroom house in my road that needs a bit of work just came up for 155K.. thats two double bedrooms and a smaller 3rd one.. better condition ones go for 175K.. say 4 years ago they were worth 130K...
i'm going to have to spend around 120K to get a modern (thin walled etc) 2 bed house round here.. with a decent main bedroom and a smaller 2nd one.. enough for just me.. i'd prefer an older house as they often have a dining room too.. so could use that as computer room instead of 2nd bedroom ;)
need to put down a hefty deposit though.. i have some saved.. need to save some more to bring the repayments down.. reckon i can afford it this time next year if i keep saving
