Hang in there, you know it may never be as cheap as you may like but it has GOT to get better than what it is.
I don’t know how old you are but, back in ’94 it was about 900$ a month to rent a house in my area. When we bought our house our payment (with taxes) was I think about $1100(it was a very small house too, cheaper than most). That seemed like ALOT of money to us. Now rents here are averaging about twice they were, but if you can afford rent than if/when this market corrects you will find a home.
