How's this for a $745,000 House?

[Ranger Dick]

Couple of months ago, My wife and i walked away from a $699,000 house, only to fall into this place. Check it out www.peninsulaproperties.com/listings/listing_home.cfm/?property_ID=463279

We moved in about 3 weeks ago, are down to about only a dozen boxes to unpack and I still can claim that I'm in the mountains above HVAC. The only problem is that the Garage is only 20 feet long and the Ram doesn't fit. I guess I can now host a Ram Runners event. Bring the Paint.

A good reminder of why I don't live down in the Bay. Half a million more than my house cost, and slightly less room. And apparently enough of a great deal to close within a month.



Of course, last night's windstorm knocked out the power for a few hours, and it's starting to snow again. I noticed several homes on the market last spring, as soon as the meltoff happened. This winter I'm going to keep track of the Mercedes and Lexus SUV's I see in the ditches in the morning, see which ones have moved back to town by May.

Sorry! And you still have to paint it!? That same house in the Coeur d' Alene, Idaho area would be about $175,000! Not only that, you would be living in "God's country" and have a minimum of 5 acres of land!

That would only take me about 150 years to pay off with a $15,000 payment at the end of the 150 years.

I think I'll stay in Indiana my naighbor just sold his house for $300,000 and it had 20 acres and a garage big enough for his crewcab ford and a full size van, also a 10 stall horse barn. Kind of sounds like a bargan doesn't it.

Not to brag' but I have eleven acres of oaks, 2950sqft and all for 120,000 northwest of houston.

I am glad I don't live in CA! But seattle is heading in the same direction (the next high tech silicon valley). I guess that is the price you pay for progress. Still 3/4 of a million bucks, ouch. Good luck on the new house and congradulations! Nice place though. I am in the process of buy recreational/retirement property in western OR. 160 acres of timberland with 2 year around creeks and lots of timber, all backed up on BLM land. We shall see.

Ram Runners Can't Paint A Lick!

Where is this new place of yours Ranger Dick? Are you between 84 & 92 somewhere or are you in the four corners area? Looks to be a nice peaceful setting. I don't see any kids in the picture

It looks nice... But I gotta tell ya, man... I live on far less than yer house payment



It looks like a really nice area, though. Is there a particular reason why you gotta live where it costs that much?

 

[JConley]

For $450,000 less, you could have had this in Texas. It is only 6 years old, and has around 3450 Sq/ft . I guess that's why they call california the land of fruit and NUTS. This house also has a yard

Thats a lot of money. You could have a mafia "godfather" type house here for less than that. On the bay with a jacuzzi, pool ,dock etc. etc.

My house is only worth about 150K. The new houses in my development are going for 300K.

Ok, so here's my house

 

[Jff24Gordn]

Mark, whey do you have a pic of my house?

 

[Power Wagon]

I did a yahoo search for the term "shack" and this came up somewhere down the line a ways. I actually have no recollection why this image was on the 'net. I certainly can't see any value to it.

Ranger Dick, that is one nice looking house. You have any job opening were you are working .
