Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Wow, that is a lot of money for that house. In Rochester, that would buy an actual mansion!
Is the pay higher in areas with higher real estate prices? Becuase that house, while cute, is fairly modest, and the mortgage is more than I even make in a month.
My new space is at least not in a thoroughfare and maybe it will help me concentrate better if I feel constricted about hopping all over the internet and what not. (trying to have a good attitude!)
I'm also still bitter about the whole having to sell the house during the worst of the housing market downturn
Ugh, yeah. We are VERY lucky that Bob's condo association allows renters and that he has two friends who are very responsible who needed a place to rent. My co-worker and her husband own a Chicago condo that's been on the market for like 5 years and their association doesn't allow renters so it's a total money sink.
We're hoping someday the market will come up enough that he can sell w/out losing a bunch of money.

Sophia, heh, in Bay Area terms, it's a really, really reasonable price. Just ask anyone in the Bay Area. Or, Calfornia. Welcome to California real estate!

Yes salaries are much higher here, in general. Unless you work for McGraw Hill!
And this house is exactly what I want - a little charming bungalow with a great backyard.
Sophia, I was just reading somewhere that you're in one of the lowest priced real estate markets in the country. California's largely gonna land at the other end of the scale.
To my mind, that house Java linked is priced a little high, but it's not completely out of line with what houses are going for around here.
And that house in San Francisco, in an equivalent neighborhood, would be even more expensive.
And the house I linked to was scooped up in 10 days...
My house in San Francisco would be $650k+ depending on the neighboorhood (closer to beach is less costly, in Noe Valley it would be $700K.

I think about that every time you post a house, Sophia. Prices here are utterly unreasonable.

Ugh is right. I've been wishing I could move for a couple of years now but it just isn't even a possibility. I would love to go back to renting.

You are good at finding the bright side!
Our new neighbors moved here from Berkeley. They bought a very pricey house, for Athens GA, but I bet it seemed like an incredible deal to them. (It's a lovely ca. 1850 3-br cottage, very nicely renovated, and I think they paid $450K.)
