The point of posting it was just to discuss the disparity of housing prices across the country. Obviously, prices are higher in cities and in desirable areas.
That was all. There was no other purpose.
That's fine. I'm looking at a weather map of the U.S. and seeing some serious temperature disparity. Fairbanks is really cold, Miami is in the 70's. But, really, what's to discuss? It's a big country. Temperatures vary, prices vary - nothing shocking, sinister or even remotely of concern (at least not to me). I don't go to Fairbanks in January, and I don't buy condos in midtown Manhattan. If folks wanna do either of the above, God bless 'em.
And out of fairness, Lorianne, some respondents might be confusing you with the one or two folks on FR who seem to have a morbid obsession with housing prices and interest rates, and who post doomsday thread after doomsday thread as though the world will end unless we all do......well, something, but they never quite say just what.
$300,000 will get you a palace where I live, and I thank the good Lord daily that my part of the country is considered undesirable, may it ever remain so!
