Stupid Guest Tricks

The house I bought in 2005 is a little over 1000 square feet, and cost about $145000! Granted that was at the peak of the housing "bubble". I remember reading that in places like Huntsville Al, that you could get a 2000 or even a 2500 square foot home for that price! I don't even live in a swanky neighborhood.

Yea, but then you'd have to live in Alabama. (rim shot) Just kidding Alabamians. Never been there, but I'm sure it's a nice place.

Seriously, If you think $145000. is a lot to pay for a house...you surely don't get out much. (and don't call me surely) Even in today's market, from what I have seen, that is a pretty low price for 1000 sq. ft. Now back in the mid 70's you could purchase that for $25K. That's what I paid for my first house.

My favorite comment about the price of housing came from my Tennessee Realtor when I told her I was selling a small beach house in California and that I'd only clear about half the sale price after paying off the mortgage:

"I think we could put you in City Hall for that price!"

But in fact, it took Disney to do that.

Yeah maybe. I like being a shut-in though. Oh wait, was that out loud? :p:

Actually, I quite like California. Not saying it is without faults, but I wouldn't say it is the bottom of the heap ether.

California has quite a few faults.

San Andreas, Sierra Madre, Cucamonga, San Gabriel... :p:
