Hell, there is a townhouse section in our HOA in East Bumphuque Delaware, and they go for $500k.
My son and his fiancé live in Alexandria and are trying to figure out where they can get within commuting distance of DC and somehow buy a house. With 6.5% interest rates and these prices, I have no idea how they will do it.
Do you ever go to the Delaware Bay?
I'm going there next weekend. Near Lewes to visit a relative.
No. Buy now when the market is a bit soft. When interest rates go down house prices will increase again. This is a great time to buy and then refinance down the road.
That looks great!Your budget is tough. This is the best I could come up with.

-Does it come furnished? What are the red overhead things that look like support beams? How many cars will fit into that garage?
-What is there for an ageing Libertine to do in Bettendorf?
I like the little "motorcycle/bicycle" garage in the back yard. That is a nice touch.Okay, I found another. It says it isn't in the flood plain but has what appears to be a great view of the Mississippi River. It has opportunity to update but is fine the way it is. IE, you will probably like it fine but a future love interest may want to do some updating providing you with the opportunity to gain equity. It is over what you listed as a budget but honestly I agree that going just a little higher will lead to a lot more satisfaction with your purchase. Plus it's in Illinois so you are fully legal at home.

That looks really cute and I think it is in a decent area. It's been 22 years since we lived in the Quad Cities but we lived in that general vicinity from 97-99 and we liked it. What are the basement issues? Do you know how much it would be to fix those? Does it have central air? For me no central air would be a hard pass but I guess that is up to you.Looked at this @3boysmom

5 bedrooms, next to St Ambrose, rent out some rooms to coeds. Take your payment to basically zero, fill the house with coeds. What could go wrong?
Water comes in from one side, other side needs a new window. Electric wiring is all asbestos insulation. But she has taken wonderful care of it. She and her bf already moved into her parents giant house that just downsized so they have no worries at all I feel likeThat looks really cute and I think it is in a decent area.

Yeah, I'd probably run the other way for that. Would they make you fix the wiring before you could get a mortgage? Even if they didn't I wouldn't trust that it wouldn't be a thing by the time you wanted to sell. And that has to be an expensive fix.
