yes, i am currently not good at knowing how to find/research such data. i could buy a house now at 700k, but it would absolutely leave me with no cushion or margin for anything unexpected. i was just looking at the cost to rent a 3br vs buy in the areas we like, and then looking at what a similar mortgage as rent would be assuming 10% down at least. was wonderig if i was far off, because it looked like under $400/sq ft would be required to put the home price in line with rents.
thanks
