23K!??!!??? fahk dude. Maybe I should just look into getting in on a forclosed property instead of renting. I really don't want to own a house right now though.. but the market makes it oh so sweet an idea.

the places I've been looking at in baltimore are about 1000-1200sqft and range from $160k-$210k and that is with the prices down (most of them were at $300k+ a little over a year ago). Shells here go for more than $23k....how the fuck is shit near you so cheap?!?!

I can't imagine what it would be like to cut back on spending and pay off a house in a year :eek3:

Nobody wants to live there brings market down.

My house that I grew up in in NY is in the $98k range, but put the same house in SD near the beach and it would easily go in the neighborhood of 2.5-3mil. It's all about location.

I looked where I grew up the other day and costs there are around $150k for around 2000sq/ft and up

woman's brother is looking for a house in the buffalo area for around ~$40k.

my friend bought one in syracuse for ~$30k, put some money into it and sold it six months later.

oh, jesse, i heard that that tax refund on new houses can go towards the down payment somehow.
