Ouch! Meanies in the house. Again. Right away with the bitch comment. That’s like a knock out in the first round or is it a sucker punch?
or…
move somewhere else in this gigantic country.
live alittle and stop being a bitch
“As long as you have your parents place to live in”
That’s the lame part. For heaven’s sake – grow up and move out. There *are* other answers. Renting an apartment like millions of other adults, for example.
I’m not being snobby, just realistic, in saying if you can’t afford to move out of your parent’s house you wouldn’t be able to afford this house even at its 1994 price of $500,000.
As long as you have your parents place to live in, spend your money on another degree, and aspire to earn more money. That’s the only answer.
“I cant afford to move out of my parents house…”
Oh, *that* explains why that neighborhood is so lame.
I’ve often heard that many houses in WT never hit the open market but instead are sold to friends and families. Howard Pl and Fuller Pl have always been two of the most coveted streets in WT — understandably, given how much curb appeal the houses have with their covered porches and front yards. Not defending the selling price (I, too, think it would be healthier for everyone if prices adjusted downwards) but that 1,300 sq ft comment isn’t really accurate. These houses have big English basements — at least 700 sq ft — that most owners have turned into family rooms, workshop space, home offices etc.
I looked at a house on this street in ’94. All of the details were missing and they wanted $500k which was way too much back then. The houses on these two blocks behind the church have amazing street appeal, I’ll give them that.
(no wonder I cant afford to move out of my parents house…)
As another neighborhood resident and homeowner, I agree this is insane — and not a good thing.
Can’t wait for the crash, so perhaps my own kids will be able to stay without living their whole lives in our house. Younger generations are going to have enough trouble dealing with prior generation’s messes as it is.
I think they got a commitment on this in April — it was in the NY Times (but no open house) just as we started hunting and were told it was off the market already. Must’ve took a long time to close.
