At this point, you have to go more than 25-30 miles from NYC, at the very least, to find homes in the $250k range.

BBBBBBWWWWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHAAAAA @ house prices where you guys live. i dont even know what to say to that. you probably have completely different priorities than the rest of us "middlers". $480 here would buy you one of the best houses in one of the best neighborhoods.

It all depends on what value you associate with location.

here's the rub with me: i live in Riverside. i don't live in LA, "The OC," or San Diego. no, i live in the city that people from those cities make fun of. the housing market is so fucked here.

note: i wouldn't live in those yuppie towns, give me Valley of the Dirt.

the neighborhood looked like something out of Escape from LA

bwahahaha! classic. i actually looked for a house in LA before buying. the search didnt last long.
$250 here would buy you a seriously nice house. mine (not that i had anything to with it) has won architecture awards and it cost well under $200k

I'm guessing you meant to say "can't" be that high; au contraire, they just are, especially New York City and San Francisco, and parts of Los Angeles.

whats that?

yeah, i meant "cant". D.C. is pretty high too. i just dont understand how demand can be that high. whats the appeal? please dont say culture and art.

Dude, my bro's mortgage is something like $3200/month (house was around 480k or so, it's just ridiculously expensive here).

ijust visited a friend of mine recently. he pays the same and he is 100 miles out of NYC, deep inside Connecticut. Ok, Connecticu is super expensive everywhere but still.

I am really facing a dillema of what to do in the near future about house buying. It is really difficult here. Of course if I was married and wife had a great job as well, that would help tremendously.

I envy you guys that can buy mansion style homes for $200K ... I remember J showed us some pics of his house ... it was like some MTV Cribs type affair for less then $200K ... I could jump into that right now ... damn.

Fucking NY spoils you so much though ...

lol, it might not be important to YOU, but it is to many, many people. As well as career opportunities, entertainment, nightlife, food & tourism, history, etc., etc., so on and so forth.

and parts of Los Angeles.

dude, no. ALL of southern california. the housing market out here is the biggest it's ever been. i tried to buy a house for $290k, 70 miles away from Los Angeles. ONE HOUR after it went on the market, 92 bids were placed on the house. it was nothing special.

meh, i actually like Riverside. the mountains and desert are here, i'd take that over the stupid beach. i just want to move because since nobody can live on the coast anymore, they flood here. in the past 5 years this place has become a big city instead of just "something out east" like it used to be.

 

[lurch70]

true. the coastal markets are incredbily overpriced though. the demand simply can be that high.

it is ridiculously high ... they just built these duplxes a block away from me ... 26 of them in a square block ... half a house ... $1.2 mil .... $1.2 fucking mil ... you get a decent brick house, with a shared wall ... and a garage ... and a negligible yard ... maybe enough for an above ground pool.

I can take pics from my window of this place ... insane !!!

hahahaha, great post. hell, yeah. now i know where youre coming from. i thought you coasters were like not human or something. i bought a new architect-designed house in a historic neighborhood one mile from NHL hockey for $185000

Yeah, I should've just said all of SoCal, or at least most of it. Everything around San Diego is crazy too, I'm told.

No offense, but it's not even close to being a rationale comparison.
