Re: houses are too expensive
It is a buyers marker here in Central NC. We closed 10K less than asking price AND got a few grand in escrow repairs/upgrades. Great time to buy a house

Re: houses are too expensive
Housing prices depend on a whole host of factors. Sometimes it involves the housing bubble.
Not here edit: Location says "Houston", but in the city I actually live in (Seabrook), the housing bubble didn't really effect prices. Last edited by DotKritic; 01-15-2013 at 02:15 PM.. |

Re: houses are too expensive
I plan to buy land and build my house from scratch (my brother has connections with electricians and he works in ventillation and could help me set up that stuff, I'd do the architectural/construction stuff with some helpers).
I plan to be minimalist, not having things that aren't essential, but leaving room for things to be expandable. The theme will be a mixture of geometric abstract forms with segments/accents of organic and lively things. the more you know from Spenner's future plans.

Re: houses are too expensive
Yo Spenner, my father and I helped build a house over last summer (okay, I mostly dug trenches, poured concrete for foundations, and moved lumber around but still). If that's a plan for any time in the near future, feel free to hit me up. If you supply us with Captain and Coke, we will definitely be down to help you out. (o:

Re: houses are too expensive
That's awesome. It prolly won't be till sometime down the road, but I'd be more than happy to give some supplies (glug glug) and pay for the help be forewarned for the day I start planning to build-- it'll be a bizarre house. Though not a huge one.
You guys will hear from me when the day comes

Re: houses are too expensive
Here in Oregon the housing market is cheaper than it used to be but still expensive compared to most of the country. Nothing like California though, lmfao.
I read recently that a 1500 sqft house that was recently remodeled sold in Oklahoma for under 50k.

Re: houses are too expensive
This site has been a huge inspiration for me, browsing a lot of these/following the site for a few years now. I've been studying what goes into making a house that really conforms to my tastes but is practical to build/live in.
http://www.digsdigs.com/category/hom...house-designs/ Some of the nicest looking houses i've seen on there.

Re: houses are too expensive
Market took a shit here. Houses bought for 100k five years ago, you can find for 50k depending on the city. Some more some even less.

you're supposed to get places inspected before buying/selling them so mold and asbestos shouldn't be an issue
