bertine | Housing Marketing

Another house for sale on my parents block. The one next door to my parents, which was in pretty bad shape, was for sale for $50,000. This one is for sale for $79,900 and is next door to the house that my brother bought. The really nicely redone house is for sale for $179,900 and is on the other side of my brother's house.

On this same block there is also a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom condo for $159,900.

This housing market is completely insane.

Y'know what's insane? That's $50k house would sell for $400k in Seattle.

Oh, I know. I just think what my condo would be worth in Seattle and daydream of what I would do with my money.....

Just think of what you'd have overpaid for it and how underwater you'd be. ;-)

True, I don't think I would have gotten a condo for as little as I did in Seattle.

I would kill to find a nice house around here for $179k

Come to the midwest, land of the cheap houses.

When are you Holmboes going to buy those houses? Are you waiting for the price to drop?

not insane, just rigged by real estate "brokers"...
