If you think you can find a 1700 sq ft house in SF for anything like $369k, I invite you here to help me house hunt.

Please?

HA! :) I had to go to BAKERSFIELD to get that house for under $350K! LOL!

Jason, we couldn't find ANYTHING in Stockton in the school district I would be willing to put the boys in for under $350k. In fact, a dumpy, I mean DUMPY ass 1000 sq ft flat top 3 bdrm 1 bath right by my Starbucks just sold for $310,000!!! :eek: It's ricockulous! And Lodi is even worse

Well, yeah, not now. I meant Bay Area prices before everything went crazy a few years ago (About the same time as the explosion of dot.com millionaires all over Silicon Valley.). Today's Sacramento prices are yesterday's Bay Area prices. Today's Bay Area prices are....fvcking nuts.

My sister's neighbors just sold their "average" house for $876,000 (double what they paid for it 4 years ago). It's totally nuts!!

Tell me about it. The only reason we got ours so cheaply is because the previous owners were lazy and they let the house go to pot. One week of elbow grease and we have the place looking wonderful. The house across the street, with the exact same floor plan as ours, went on the market for 420K while ours was still in escrow.

Now that's a jump and a half geeez!!!!! It's so crazy and it just keeps getting worse. I was looking online a couple of weeks ago and out of 25 houses here, in our district 4 were not sale pending or sold! :eek:

It's depressing, that's for sure. I'd rather go to the dentist than look for a home in this market again. And I hate going to the dentist.

I'm so happy for you! :) We're dipping our toes in the market and the news is not so good here. I can't believe you got a rock waterfall pool four bedroom house for under 350! :( We'd barely find an 800 sq ft condo in a safe area for that here.

Matterhorn Way, my goodness....You should paint this white:

And hire tiny men in red jump suits to climb it periodically.

Congratulations, how exciting for you!

Now you so know I will have to do that right? The tiki room will be the patio and I've been told the pool should be the jungle cruise ;)

Kyler has informed me that he wants to rent an overhead projector and paint the "mountains" on his walls in his room. :)

Oh and you have to remember I had to go to Bakersfield to get the house at such a good price! LOL! Thanks on the well wishes :)
