No kidding, PB! I can't imagine being able to buy a house for $250,000! That's how much I paid for my craptastic 1 bd condo! We've been looking for a place that's a little bigger (1200 sq.ft. condo), but we were trying to stay around $500,000 and we've given up for now.
And let me be the first to say that salaries are NOT in line with housing prices here!
I think a lot of people must have quite the house of (credit) cards built to try to live the lifestyle they do. Maybe they're counting on big inheritances or something. One false move, though, and it's all out the window.
