Back from the horrors of house shopping.

Hmmm.....

$350,000 will get you this not too far (3 miles) from my house.....

And this in the nearby Mountians (20 minutes from town...)

My neighborhood tops out at about $260,000 or so....

hey Dave, what's the tech industry like up there in Denver ?

Pretty significant.

Plus Colorado is becoming a big haven for alternative energy companies, and all the tech that accompanies them...

Hang in there, man.
You'll find the place.
AOK

I just tried to search for properties for sale within 5 miles of my home for 300-350 thousand. No results were returned for my search.

We probably will...just more frustrating than I thought it would be....

 

[Chihlidog]

OK, found this in my area. Had to search the whole county. This was around 3 I think. I searched from 3-350. Bunch of results now, this was one of the first. Um, nice place. :i:

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

that'd be about a million dollars out on Long Island, Chihli. maybe more.

where is that?

 

[Eminence_Front]

yah, that's about a $285k - $350k place back home in Dallas.

This is what $324,000 gets you here:

One of the first houses we looked at. The washer and dryer are in the back yard. There is a hole about 10 ft in diameter where someone tried digging a Koi pond and then gave up in the back yard. It has pink aluminum siding that is rusted through along the ground and the garage door has windows and plywood that let you see into what is some sort of bedroom conversion.

It looks no where near as bad in those pictures as it did in person.

 

[Mark Wein]

Oh yeah...they wanted $350,000 when we looked at it 2 months ago...

 

[Eminence_Front]

LMAO.

Yah, can't smell photo's

What is scarier is that it sold for over a half million less than two years ago.....

You wouldn't believe what some of these houses went for 3 years ago.  Mostly 100% financing, too which is part of the bank tangle we're dealing with as well...too many people have notes on each house...
