    The market over here is ridiculous. For $1m I got a 3 bedroom townhome with not much of a backyard and $470/mo HOA. It’s about an hour to the city (not during rush hour). Anything cheaper than that is either in a bad school district or about to collapse. I used to live next to a mobile home park and I just checked now - those sell for over 330k.

    Prices here have been going up since 2020. There was a dip at the end of 2022, but already almost back to highest 2022 prices.

      it depends on location of course like everything. I just closed on a $350k ~1 acre 4 bed 3 bath 30 mins from downtown city in the South, quiet street, good neighbors, in need of a refresh interior decor but only because its dated, inspections came back clean.

      Not to be like neener-neener about it, we don’t really have a choice of city due to jobs, and if we happened to live and work in Portland or LA or NY it would be fucking terrible and we would live in a shoe box above a bowling alley and below another bowling alley. But I just wanted to say for those asking - it varies so wildly it’s mad.
