Searching for a house
Posted on 2004-03-09 at 08:03
Denise and I spend some time on this past Sunday looking at houses. Our original goal was to find a house around $240k in a nice neighborhood. Those hopes were dashed against the rocks like a baby's head in the Old Testament. I knew house prices had jumped, but I severely underestimated how much so. The absolute cheapest house we looked at and liked was going for a truly insane gob of cash ($406k). Last night we opened up the ol' spreadsheet to see just what sort of house we could afford. Thankfully it gives us a current leeway up to $300k. If the business scales any higher, that number will increase pretty quickly, so there is some hope, but damn!
