I am now considering buying the house at a $146,000 savings rent included.

My mortgage payment will now be around $2600 which is close to my rent payment. Had I bought it when I moved in it would have been $4200.
guess the moral of the story is timing is everything... if you had said "why rent?" and bought instead at the start, you would have been down all that equity and had higher payments as well

.... so it should be said that renting can often be smarter than buying depending on the market and other factors

Yeah and despite all these incentives it's still.. SW Michigan. Prices were dirt cheap there before the economic collapse. Wanna guess why?

yah in Ontario prices are holding up... i think once this mess is over in let's say couple of years, everyone will all of a sudden start buying houses so they won't miss out and prices will sky rocket even higher...

and btw, 88k for a house, damn man... here that place will be at least 300g's far away from down town

hehe yea I was thinking the same thing. The state of $1 houses. hehe congrats on the house though, it doesn't look too bad.


There are many states you can find very good deals. Texas is one of them, I was out there 2 years ago and there were countless houses in the 60k to 80k range in Dallas & Houston.

I can only imagine what's out there now. Austin and San Padre Island seemed to be the only places with high prices in that state, where it was harder to find stuff under 100k. I'm sure it's not too hard now though.

You mean from $760K to $700K in about 4 months, that is a significant drop in real estate, and it's just the beginning...

Nice buy. Prices are nuts all over. It is a great time to buy but hard to get a deal in the nicer areas.

Yes they are.

I have seen some houses through this year from from $180,000 down to the low 100's and even 90's. Area makes a difference, as well as how long on the market. There have been times I see houses dropping 10-20k every few weeks trying to unload them.

Fucking crazy.
