You better hurry and get here while the homes are still cheap!!!!!!!! where else can you get a nice 3br 1.5 bth 1300 sqft/ w basement ranch home in a major metro for 60k?.. I did it with no mortgage!! and there are jobs here for people with drive and a good work ethic…or you can go to, lets say philadelphia and pay $470,000 for the same home and be around more jobs. It’s worth your time to think about the suburbs (riverview, wyandotte, taylor, brownstown) of the detroit metro area.

Come on over. If you come to Detroit you can even pick up a house for a grand. It may not be quite as nice as Vancouver but the money is right Wow that’s a crazy price. You’ll have to be a multi-million to afford that.

awe man..

I think I need to move to the States!

You know the median home price in Vancouver (detached) is $788,000???!
It’s up 20% since last year January.

Le sigh…

Forest,

With your current lifestyle I think waiting is the perfect idea. How much would a house/apt in Egypt cost??

I owned a property when I lived back in London, England and it was about 50% of my income….. In hindsight I never should have owned it as it was just too stressful paying the mortgage.

I’m keeping an eye on housing in different places but doubt ill be jumping back in for quite a few years.

I think the Detroit number includes Birmingham and Northville in the equation, both with a ton of $300-$900k homes. I think the unemployment in the city is around 30%. But I still see help wanted signs around here. They are jobs nobody wants. I have two jobs and could go get another one if I wanted, nobody wants to work in service. Oh well, I would like to see my home value come back a little so I can move further west away from the city.

I’ve checked out my families charts and see the same thing as mine. Big dip and then a recovery. I really don’t put a lot of stock in the pricing, but I think its a starting point.

Good luck with the rental, remember once I’m out of debt we would still love to come rent in Tahoe.

Yeah, this isn’t the place to move to right now. You can get some great deals now. I’ll even cut you in real cheap on my house. If you are ever serious about coming to the home of the best NFL team, drop me a line.

$83,000 for a house in Detroit! They must be factoring in some pretty pricey suburban homes. I see for sale signs everywhere around. I know of 10 year old 4 BR home with 5 acres with 400′ river frontage that went for less than 100K in the outer suburbs. I bet the real unemployement rate in Michigan is 30%.
