We just bought a house in Tucson, AZ. It cost over 4 x what our house in Tennessee cost and it's nearly half the size.

In other news, one out of every two houses sold in California today is sold with an interest-only mortgage.

BTW- Where we lived in Tennessee we had a pretty nice house for 80k. The REALLY nice homes in the prime, planned neighborhood were 200k. In the part of Tucson we live in this would buy a nice cozy home fitted with bars over every window and a good view of the real world(ie drugs, crime).

Bought a house in 73 in Santa Barbara County for $18,000 - sold it a year later for $40,000 - Now it's worth 600,000 - (Well, 'worth' is a relative term) and my house here in the north east, with 7 x's the land, mostly forest, and more space inside- I got for $70K in 91 - maybe up to only 130K now - but worth a hel*llva more to me than half the house, on a postage stamp lot, in the desert.

Sooner or later, things will slow down or reverse = and people are going to be hung out to dry...

Are you into real estate? Nah. I'm into futures. I probably should be into real estate. I do own a house that is worth probably 500K. BUT: the area around me is going nuts. Which means my house may not be worth squat. They are tearing down all the old houses around me and building million dollar homes. My house isn't modernized. I may be screwed. My house may not be worth 500k. It may be only worth the land.

Where we lived in Tennessee we had a pretty nice house for 80k. I didn't even know such places existed anymore.
Where I come from, a three bedroom, 1 1/2 house in Jamaica, Queens, aka THE GHETTO goes for $350-400k. The same house (one that is 40 years old, mind you), in a decent neighborhood costs at least $750K.
Here in Seattle, $300K will get you into a "starter" home 40 miles from the city.

blah blah blah... your negativity is not going to destroy the general happiness many of us have experienced and are experiencing in this real estate market.
Cheers to real estate.
