In my hometown, that would get you a 4 bedroom, 4 bath, 3 story, 3500sq ft house, 2-car garage, workshop, with 1500sq ft of deck (2 stories), overlooking 12 acres. of hillside and woodlands with deer and wild turkey.

In my current location, you can't find a studio for that.

"Reckless Kelly"? Their drummer is from Simsbury, just wondered, anyhow, good band if you ever get a chance to catch em live.

I saw them a while back, a little too "Nashville-y" for my likens.

This is why I left Chicago........

Sounds nice. Except it's in ARKANSAS.

The average 350k home in a Phoenix suburb:

Looks alot like what you might get around here for that price........ nice sterile tract housing.

 

[-dustin]

with this view:

4/2.5 on 18 acres.

 

[SkaredShtles]

Here it is folks - if you can find a big dream house for $350K, chances are it's:

1) Haunted
2) Built like crap
3) Located in a craphole like Shreveport (this is by far the likeliest)

 

[SkaredShtles]

A house like that is really begging to be located somewhere with a decent view:

For the love of god....6,999,900.....what?? were they trying to aviod having it seem like a lot of money?? OOOO 7mil...can't go there...that's too much.... kinda like the dollar store selling something for 98 cents....jeez....

 

[Rockland]

Here on mid-coast Maine you can still get decent homes for not-so-inflated prices. The trade off is you are far from any major city stuff. That said the high-end (which usualy have ocean frontage) is pretty rediculous.

 

[Ciaran]

Yeah, but you get to live in California. You're near the coast, you've got sun, fun, lots of mtn. biking... surfing... gorgeous sunsets. But paying half a million just to get a small house in D.C.? Why? Just to be surrounded by a bunch grey buildings and a lot of tight-asses who talk about politics and law in their free time? Facing heightened terror alerts? Ugh!

The closest beach to D.C. is like 120 miles!

It all depends on your point of view. Me personally, I hate the sunshine and heat. Can't stand the traffic, and the smog. I am fairly certain I wouldn't dig DC either though (Actually due to my lack of heat tolerance I would do poorly in most parts of the country). My heart is being called by the cold and rainy Pacific Northwest which is where the GF and I will end up in a few more years.

Though I do like So Cal in the winter when it's raining. Everything is green and the trails are tacky and it's not hot. Sadly the winter only last a few weeks.

Here's something to make you jealous... This is my GF's parents back deck. This is where we are getting married. They live in San Diego...

you all have no clue how lucky you are. real estate is so expensive here. $350,000 will get you this;

Dude - that's because it's actually a *desirable* place to live. Be glad you live somewhere like that.

while one million (about) will get you something like this:

ahh very true. im just jealous because some of you can get 3000 sq. feet for under 600,000. i do like it ehre though. sun, surf, fairly good trails.



Oh, and i saw Harry Connick Jr. at a shop in my town last week!

 

[Ciaran]

Come out to california so I can smack you.

Repeat after me... "I do not live in Cali therefore I am lucky in my real estate market"
350,000! P'shaw!

 

[Crashby]

I just picked up this investment foreclosure in Rochester, NY for $34,900. I close in a couple weeks.

Here is my personal house I bought for $61,000:

You can still get a lot of house for your money in various parts of the country.

 

[blt2ride]

Dude. That would go for well over a mil in So Cal.

Yeah, and it would be in Van Nuys or Reseda. You always hear that houses are a lot cheaper in other parts of the country, however, when you actually see the proof it's kind of depressing.

Good lord!

Around here in D.C., I hate when people ask why I "throw away" $1200 a month on rent. It's because I have no choice. $1200 a month couldn't even buy me a ghetto one-bedroom house. Probably can't even buy a rat-infested one-bedroom condo. And if I move "way out," then I'd spend hundreds a month on gasoline (and lose hours and hours to my commute--actually my gas is already about $200 a month). So I guess I am stuck renting.

If I want to get into the real estate game, I could buy part of an empty lot with like ten other people and hope to turn a profit in ten years. But that doesn't give me a place to live. Time to consider moving, for sure.

People are actually comming to Rochester (visiting) to remotely invest in real-estate. Unique environment to say the least.

I live in Central Wellington.

$500,000 gets you quite a bit of house. The market is slow at the moment so there's not actually much about.

 

[JRB]

here's one I found:

this is on the west shore of lake tahoe. they are asking $370k. it's listed as a 2bd, 1 bath. 768 sq feet, built in 1962.

My uncle's was twice that big, and brought $550k. He bought it in 90 or something like that for like $85k.

 

[stevew]

A house like that is really begging to be located somewhere with a decent view:

If Colorado was 65 degrees year round, I would still live there. I loved where I originally lived in Breckenridge, at the end of the road that the golf course is on. Screw that white crap.

I never did make it to the land my parents still have in Pagosa Springs. 5 or so acres on the side of the mountain.

I'm with you on that one. The (future) father in law says to just get into a house, almost any house. He seems to forget that down payments can be hard to come by. We pay 800 a month in rent and will be moving after the 1st of the year and will likely end up paying about 1200 a month in rent. Sucks.

 

[SkaredShtles]

If Colorado was 65 degrees year round

Maybe San Diego?

I loved where I originally lived in Breckenridge, at the end of the road that the golf course is on

Which golf course?

Screw that white crap.

BLASPHEMER! You must now cleanse yourself in Holy Powder:

Actually I win the Arkansas derby, my listing is on page 1

D'oh! :nuts:

Which golf course? BLASPHEMER! You must now cleanse yourself in Holy Powder:

The golf course on Tiger Road.

California...ehhhhh.

 

[SkaredShtles]

The golf course on Tiger Road.

You know that road doesn't actually "end".......

You know that road doesn't actually "end".......

I put together snow mobiles at the place on that road for about a month. Good Times I think was the name of the place.

Its a baragin. The thing orginally listed for over 9 mil. Apparently, if you are going to spend that kind of money you are more likely to just build it the way you want it.

I hate this thread. I hate this thread more then DRB hates MMike.

350 grand gets you a very nice house here. but in the suburbs....
300 grands gets you a very nice appartment in the city, or a nice (but small by suburban US standards) house in the city.


that is $350k, in the suburbs..

this is $400k in the city.

 

[Brian HCM#1]
