Housing
![HRsage](http://hrforms.blr.com/plugins/DefaultAvatars/design/RedAvatar.jpg)
Reading the "Where would you live" thread got me wondering what a typical house costs in the different areas around the country.
In this morning's paper it was reported that my county's Median housing cost has now hit over $613,000. xflash
And we're not talking about big huge fancy houses either! These are 3 bedroom 2 bath homes with hardly any backyard and your neighbor's house is a few feet away. It makes me wonder who can afford a house in this area with those kind of prices.
So what's it like in your neck of the wood's?x:-/

We have yet to break 2 per gallon but imagine it is only days away.
Is that because of the lack of indoor plumbing, Ray? x;-)
But, I do have a deluxe outhouse.

Great area to live but commute to Silicon Valley
everyday min. 1 hr each way.
It amazes me that I pay more for my personal property tax now than I did for my apartment rent 25 years ago. Regular Gas is $1.959 today.... Emphasis on today.

DeidreFR5: If you'd like to get out of Tax-achusetts and move to beautiful central NH...live in a small town with major shopping within 15-30 minutes drive, do I have a house for you!!!
I live in a 2-yr-old Colonial on 2.2 acres with 3 BR, 3 bath, 2-car garage. Skiing is about 45 minutes away, ocean beach 1 hour, Boston 1.5 hours, Maine 1/2 hour, Massachusetts 45 minutes. Cats and appliances optional...
Call me...we'll do lunch x;-)

Does that translate to a 3-holer in Owego?

Outskirts of Phoenix, you can build a 2400 sq ft home for around $180k. We built ours five years ago for $132k. 'Course most homes here are built with styrofoam, chicken wire and stucco wrapped around a wood frame. They wouldn't last through one "real" winter season.
