It's CRAZY out here!

Three years ago, you could have moved in and bought a house for a reasonable price. Now? Forget it. Since the housing boom, you can't find a house at a somewhat decent price (unless you are moving in from California - which means you could buy Buckingham Palace for what you paid for your 1B/1B cottage). The houses are not worth what they have been inflated to. Houses that sold for $700k last year are really only worth $400k, but sellers are being stubborn. They think the house should still be sold for $700k and that is that.
And, if you are a teacher or other public servant? No way can you afford to live here any more. That's why I am leaving. Over priced, over heated and West Nile Virus. No thank you.
