Default the day has come.

I got approved for a house today. :yay: :yay: :yay: :yay:

I didn't get as much as I wanted but it's all good. Houses here are pretty insane on prices and you can't really get anything decent. Old 800sqft homes built in 1945 go for $250k. My parents agreed to help me out and cosign the loan and I may be picking up a property from them. It's the house I posted up around mid last year. 2 story, garage, fenced in huge backyard, and located in a nice neighborhood. Anywho, she offered it to me for just 10k over what she paid last year and its gained lots of equity since then.

If all goes well, the Z will be paid off soon after.

Yay, wow, that's VERY expensive.

The house that I'm planning to get this year is 250K-300K and they're over 2700sqft. And I thought that was expensive. I thought that CA is the only place with cut throat prices.

nevertheless, congrat bro.

I just realize that I'm on the same plan as you, only a bit later. Got the G a short while after you got the Z, now I'm planning for a house, and you already got approved for one. My G will be done within 3 yrs.

When I decide to purchase a home I'm going to have to move out of CT. The average price for a 1 story ranch home is 450-500k. Well I think there called ranch homes. 1 story, 2-3 bedrooms, long.

Yea you would be suprised here. My friend John just moved here from Cali (he's got a Z with the JWT TT kit; yes the unreleased one) and he mentioned how shocked he was to see how high the prices were. He was expecting them to be lower. But lately since interest rates are on the rise, prices aren't rising as much but they aren't selling as quick.

Is it because you can't even buy a studio in Cali for less than 500k?

Millions. I can only drive by and dream I could afford something like that. Even Teddy Riley lives nearby but I think his money is running out. His landscaping as been slacking for a few years and he's evening doing appearances in local commercials. :rofl:
