I just went out looking at houses and was so surprise at how expensive they are in my area of NY that my fiance and I decided to wait a few more years (even though I don't think I'm acutally EVER going to get a house which is fine I would just like to get a bigger apartment once our lease runs out)
a TINY 2 bedroom FORCLOSURE started at $250,000. Any decent house (like the one you described) EASILY go for $600,000. In my area if you want to get a small house in a good area you have to be making ALOT of money...The majority of the homes are close to or even over a million dollars. AND that doesn't even count the taxes! I saw a TINY 600 square foot one bedroom house that was running $350,000 but the taxes were 18,000 a year!!
sigh oh well...I may not own a home but I do like the location so renting is fine.
