Compare and Contrast

I'm looking at real estate in DE and PA. Not too thrilled with the prospects...well, at least not too thrilled with the prospects considering we will be a one income family.

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.
