New construction of the above starts at 600-700K. Im talking modular construction here....very mediocre quality but new. Nothing new is being built under 4000sq ft. For some reason folks cant have a "small" home these days (2000sq ft) Im sure its just what the market brings - the builders have it figured out.
Very mediocre!!!! And taxes are about 75 to 100% higher than my old place.
I personally think its insane, but if you want to live in good school areas, decent commutes, acceptable tax rate, and good values...pony up the dough or step out of the way sir, and let the fella in behind you...
I almost got run over by a Land Rover and a Beemer when I was out lookingf the other day.
I think these prices can be echoed in most metro areas - where unfortunalty most the corporate jobs are located.
Nah, most other metro areas are no where near as bad as the NE, SoCal, or the Bay area.
Makes no sense to me. I cant see how someone starting out can do it. Pilot salaries certainly are not going up to relfect this...at least not mine...
Mine either!!!!!!!
personally I couldnt sleep well at night being employed as a pilot with loans like these folks must have!
Who has time to sleep, my second job (needed to pay the upcoming mortgage) prevents me from more than 4 hours a night.
When we bought....you could do house and family just fine on 100K. You could find a nice house for 200-250K Now -- no way just not possible to buy a house. You will rent until you die on 100K. simple as that. To get a motgage down to what about 100K will afford you will need a min 250K down payment...
I feel like I'm back living on college pay.
Glad Im not looking.
