slug 1 #27 January 19, 2006 QuoteQuoteQuote I always wondered what a condo was, thanks for thatOk what's the price of a 1 or 2 bed condo in your area? Depends on where you go. We've got riverfront condos with a yacht club just out the back door and a golf course across the street out front that run from $300,000-$500,000, and I know of very nice, new-ish condos without those luxuries that run around $200,000. I don't know of any 1 bedrooms, and 2 bedroom units aren't all that common. Property is cheap enough where I live that most people just build/buy houses. A couple years ago the gal I was with and I built a new house on a quarter acre lot for $168,000... 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, 2 car garage, 2200 finished square feet. Why would we want to share walls/ceilings/floors with others when we can have that much more privacy for less? Blues, Dave Oh to live somewhere with sanity in the property market Hi Newbie Sanity Think "location, location, location". The area that Dave is located in is a desert and was home to a major nuke weapons production facility ( Google: Hanford Nucleur reservation). The good news is that if your employed in the hazardous waste cleanup industry, there will be plenty of well paid jobs for a very long time. Dave's childrens, children will have a bright future if they stay in the area. FWIW if I was employed in the same industry as Dave the tri cities area of Washington state would be a great place to live. R.I.P. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #28 January 19, 2006 Hmmm, total cost? You're looking at about $75,000. To rent you're looking at between $500-750. That typically includes some sort of paid bills in your rent.

Slowfaller 0 #31 January 19, 2006 $175,000 two bedroom/one bath "condo" that has an attached one-car garage, outside entrance, shared side walls and finished partial basement.

Vertifly 0 #33 January 19, 2006 In August, (2) beds in a complex around me is about 425K - not including a parking spot. But I hear that even since just then there has been a 10% increase. This is in central Jersey. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shotgun 1 #34 January 19, 2006 QuoteKeely, what does a stand-alone house go for in Murrieta? 3BR, ~1700 - 2000 sq ft They start at ~$380K, up to a few million... But there are quite a few decent houses in the $400-$500K range. Edited to say: But if you're looking to be close to the Perris DZ, Menifee and Sun City are ok areas that are closer, and real estate might be a tiny bit cheaper (maybe).

I'll add that to my very long list of reasons why not to live in austin. Ok, seriously, it won't be too much longer before the B/CS area prices catch up to what they really should be. Right now the HUGE future for serious money in this area is property.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

LittleOne 0 #40 January 20, 2006 Last time I checked, a decent one bedroom (~800 sq ft) in Manhattan will set you back $750,000. A parking space is ~$400/month. But I haven't checked recently since I was priced out of the market a looong time ago. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I live in Central Austin and I pay $495/mo. for a one bedroom, which includes cable and all bills except electricity. And really, the drive bys are rarely pointed in my direction.
