*UPDATE*

Good news:
We found a place that we love. Full size withD, dishwasher, balcony, walk in closets, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, security cameras, security on site, covered parking, NO pet deposit. Between $585-$650/month, which is totally in our price range....

Bad News: The manager doesn't forsee any openings for a while. Phil and I are going wait.

Hopefully it gives us a chance to stock pile our junk...but I was hoping to move SOON.

:D I'm smiling because I have no idea whats going on!

we don't even have a single family home, its a townhouse. If you want a single family home up in my area and you don't want a piece of crap, its a good $400k. Anything with any land will run you much more. The closer to the city and the nicer the neighborhood will run you up to 1.5 mil. Its so stupid.

Yeah, it SUCKS. But, its what you have to do here if you don't want to live in a bad area or live in a house that is falling apart. Trust me, I don't live in a mansion. we have 3 very small bedrooms, one very small full bath, living room, kitchen and dining room, unfinished basement.

My hubby and I scraped and scraped for this place. The final price was $230k, we had 20% down. We got a good interest rate too, probably the lowest in history.

The good thing is the housing market here isn't slumping like other places. So if we move to a cheaper area we will have LOTS to put down. We've been in this house 4 years now.

Ours is the end unit with the tree down in front.

Yeah, welcome to Baltimore. And I live a pretty good distance from the city. The area we wanted to move to, a town home of the same size/quality was $300k +

Around here its $730 a month for a 1 bedroom apartment! You definitely have it good.

I'm glad you found a place, Lacey.

Liz, you're not on an adjustable mortgage rate, are you? Because you might want to be careful if you are. We've had a rash of foreclosures in this area simply because of that.
