BobS. Thanks, nice, but that is above our price range. We run out of a comfortable down payment at $5M purchase price.

Obviously I will now be able to continue to save considerably each month and once I sell my current house, save a little bit more per month, but I don’t plan on ever going above my max of $5M, even if I could. If I can’t find our dream house for under $5M, there is something wrong with me. Heck, I should find it for under $4M. I found that you don’t get incrementally more house for the extra $$ you pay once you get to $4M or so.

I did get real close to becomming your neighbor on one house in Santaluz, but the seller and I reached a stalemate and his house remains unsold one month later.
