More Normal Heights Insanity

i am fence-sitting on the border of UH and NH and i have to agree with Mark on the asking prices that are beyond laughable. i also agree with some of the other posters, that NH is fun and funky, but it is not the nicest area in town. mark — im sure you realize this, but you can get something bigger and nicer in a better area of town. don’t get frustrated, just go find better. this will sort itself out. good luck!

Um, well, I wouldn’t consider 35K annual income “desperately poor”. Perhaps hard to live on in San Diego, but not desperately poor.

You’re right Mark bad choice of words. I just meant to deal with the concerns about how many people can afford their houses there. How many bought at unaffordable prices is relevant too of course. Thinking about the numbers on that. I sold my house there to someone who got in trouble. Teaser rate and all but I think they might have gotten a workout because the NOD disappeared and they took the house off the market. I am glad for them as they actually got a relatively good deal from me and they loved the house. Anyway just trying to provide some anecdotal info.

For me the key point is its sale in 2000 at 183K – nearly eight years from the bottom of the last cycle.
Actually that was about 4 years above the bottom of the last cycle, but who’s counting.
