Rentometer. Find out if you're paying too much in rent.

Thanks to living bracketed by an expressway and slum tenements, I'm paying about $130/month less than the median for a 2br in this zip code. But really, based on square footage and the apartment's features I'm probably getting it for about half what it would cost in a good neighborhood.

Nifty web toy. I'm paying about $150 under median. Like others, it's probably due to staying put for a while. Six years in my case.

I'm still planning to move at some point, but that's because I want to upgrade from one bedroom to two.

What I need is a mortgageometer!

My leg/hamstring/whatever is significantly better this morning, even if it's still twingey. I'm being WAY careful with walking and stuff.

Looks like my rent is just a few dollars over the low rent range, so I'm doing pretty good, even though I just moved here a few months ago!

I wonder if I didn't reinjure my original injury yesterday?

I found an old wrap that I had and wrapped my knee with it and then hobbled to the corner store. (Can't do without tp.)

My plan for today - involves resting my leg while watching the MI-5 marathon on A&E.

I would like to know where that Rentometer gets its data. I know I'm paying less than you could likely get this apartment for right now, but more than most of my neighbors in the building are paying, thanks to rent stabilization.

I think they base their data on what's submitted. That's why they're asking for your address and not just your city and your rent.

Did I mention I met with a realtor yesterday and I'm going to look at houses today? Eeek! It's pretty exciting, but a little overwhelming too.

Oh, that is exciting!

I hope you have good househunting weather. (It's gray and rainy here today.)

Sue, that's great! Good luck to you.
