Anyways, for $283K in DE, I can own this house, 7 minutes from Brian's workplace:
22 years old. 4 bed/2.1 bath.Not bad in general. A roof over our heads is a roof over our heads! However, we are from Texas and compare it to a $283K house in Houston, 23 hours and 40 minutes from Brian's workplace:
18 years old. 4 bed/3.5 bath. 3200+ sq ft. In a good school district.
*sigh* I am focusing on the fact that we will be back in the USA! And that makes me happy! And to have a house at all, will be a HUGE upgrade from our 700 sq ft , 1 bed/1 bath, 2 closet place.

you just can't compare. for that price in boston, we couldn't even own our 2 bedroom apartment with no yard! i have learned that we just have to do the best with where God has us right now...even if it means not owning the nice, new 4 bedroom house with a yard and a pool.
we are just so glad to have y'all living so close to us :)
not knowing kel had posted, i came to the blog to tell you to look at boston prices and be happy you can own a house and not a "floor of a house, with condo fees". we looked at a 2 bedroom first floor to a house one street over, and it was $385k. crazy!!!
think this way: $283k appreciates 10%, that's $28 grand!
Haha this is hilarious because I actually clicked to tell you to not feel too bad, check Boston prices! :)
OK. We've now established Boston is expensive. I agree with Kel - we're excited to have you guys close by!! I can't wait for Michael and Eden to play again!
Wow, I had no idea you were living in such a small apartment. We did that with Joshua until right before I had Isaac. It just gets old after a while. No wonder you are so good at taking him to the parks! Bless you and I'm happy you will soon have much more room.
Love,

And think, 283,000 gets you, oh, a one-bedroom in Paris...
But I know what you mean, the Houston house is much prettier. Hope you find your dream home quickly!!!
No, 283,000 would NOT get you a one bedroom in Paris, but 2.83 million might... P, been thinking, with the schools here and everything, you may be a lot better off living in Pa. :>/ Can't wait to have you here!!!!
Joen!
Ah, real estate is a real bitch... At least you are moving from very small, very expensive quarters to the east coast. Imagine if you were moving from that Houston house to the east coast...
