Is it inching up due to Escrow? Otherwise it shouldn't go up.
I'm definitely hoping there is a downturn...... HOPING....the bottom of the market was almost 4 years ago in seattle. we're due for a downturn in a year or two.
there have been 5 houses sold in my neighborhood in the last 6 months. All sold in less than a week for full asking price. The house across the street from me was listed friday and had a pending sign up on monday. Im hoping I have the same luck. We have one of 4 ramblers in our place and the only one on a corner lot...fingers crossedI'm definitely hoping there is a downturn...... HOPING....
I am noticing that inventory is sitting longer outside of seattle now than it used to. Last summer people were buying like 5-10% over List price. Completely crazy if you ask me. I've seen some dream homes come and go for decent prices lately but I wasn't quite in the position to buy yet.
Now that we're married we want to buy a house. Interest rates are low. I'm only going to continue making more as I progress up the pay scale in the next five years.
Where should we start? Would like to spend at most $1200 a month.
Lol
I'm glad I don't live in the rich bitch portions of the country like you guys do. It must suck to have to make 70k a year to be considered middle class.
My mortgage is a little over a third of his budgeted amount and my house is 2700 sq ft and my garage is 1000 Sq ft.
its funny that you basically summed up my life, with the goal to be semi retired at 50...Could my wife and I have moved into a 1200SQ foot house in Waterbury, CT and have a $1000/m mortgage and drive 2001 Honda civics and not have any car payments and live way below our means, YEAP, We could have done that. We would be loaded. But that's how the Poor live

Amazing bookHomie never read rich dad poor dad.
You guys are always such a wealth of information.
My fico scores currently range from 690 to 725 the last time I checked. My average credit age sucks because I only started building credit a few years ago.
