OT but I want to share some good news!

[07V84Z]

I just got off the phone with the leasing office at an apartment complex that I applied for, and I got approved!!! My Fiancee and I are signing the lease on the 29th! Aww man, I'm so excited.

Anyway, just thought I'd share.

It's a 3bd 2bth 1364SqFt for $875/month!!!

[Ever Victorious]

Damn, rent is cheap where you live...

[Jaesin]

Ours is a 3/2, 1250 sq-ft for $1270 a month...

Lucky!!

And this is CHEAP for the area. Sad

Ah, but the question is... how long have you owned it?

lol here it's $1221 plus change every month...It's mostly because it's right here 5 or so minutes away from ASU Main.

It was many sacrifices ago. My daughter was 1 and is now going on 22. 8 more payments and it's mine. God I feel sorry for kids these days.

[BBISHOPPCM]

Yeah... you're not kiddin'! I just bought a 1 bedroom two-story condo for $83,000. 670 sq. ft, in a small mountain town. My parents payed $90,000 for their three bedroom house with full basement and attic, two car garage, and 1/4 acre lot in a desirable town back in 2002. This is ridiculous!

Just last year my wife and I paid $289,500 for a 1616 sq ft 2/2 with a huge family room (doubles as a 3rd bedroom) with a 1 car garage.

But it wasn't as bad of a hit because we also sold our old 1290 sq ft 3/1 with 2 car garage for $275,000... a house that we paid $174,500 for 5 years ago.

I have a 1 bed 1 bath apt in beautiful Santa Monica and pay a whopping 1380 a month...ugh I hate la

[faction]

Don't hurt me...

Crappy 1152 sqft house but it keeps rain off, 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, no garage, 4 acres, clear starlit skies and no neighbors for 500 feet.

$250/mth for 5 more years.

Got a deal from my grandma on land contract.

[Great White Versa]

Yeah, no joke. Here in Vegas prices dropped REALLY hard. Tomorrow I'll be putting an offer on an 1800 sqft house in one of the most desirable parts of town for only $217,000. A similar house in that neighborhood sold last spring (at the market's peak) for about 350k. CRAZY!!! I'll post pics next week if the bank accepts my offer.

[frankoV]

10 years ago 3 of us paid the same amount ($130k) for houses in 3 different places: BC, Winnipeg, and here.

A couple of years ago the Wpg house sold for 140, the BC house sold for 180, and ours could have sold for 230. If we sold today we could by a small Saskatchewan ghost town (there actually is -- or was -- a town for sale. Houses were going for 5,000 each. I could be king of my own fiefdom!).

Congrats!! I just moved into my new townhouse (3 br/2.5 ba, ~1500 sq ft, $937/month with discount, includes water, plus $20/month pet rent) last weekend! I know how great it feels to get approved for the place you wanna live!
