Dude - that apartment I was telling you about? The one for $1350? It rents for $2625!!!!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Wow, that's expensive. Greg and I talked about it again and decided not to try to buy a house for another year. Next summer, hopefully, things will be more financially stable and we'll feel better about the plan. I just hope prices haven't gone through the roof by then. There have been some renovations to the area, which may mean bad things, price-wise.
I don't think I can comprehend the LA real estate market.
I'm not surprised, Aimee. The apt. the GF and I lived in went from $800 to $1450 in the space of 3 years. I'm sure it's renting for more than the $1450 at this point, too.
I told you guys about apartment searching in London, right? We looked up what we thought was our monthly mortgage payment converted to pounds. Found some VERY SMALL (600 sq. ft) flats that we might have wanted. Then we noticed the rates were WEEKLY. I'm scared to think of what the ones we could have afforded looked like.
4 times our mortgage with roughly a third of the square footage. Needless to say, we stopped considering London as an option.
Wow, that's nice. But would you have the same income in Michigan?
Probably.
Tempting, then.
(eta: aside from the whole Winter issue. Another thing that is beyond my ken)
Sometimes, I really really wonder what the heck I am still doing here.
