Can you share some details like price, area, and size of the property?

jameswennParticipant[quote=CardiffBaseball]It’s been more than a month since this thread was updated, is that good sign? I happen to know a couple guys who coach rival teams in the little league, one was cut to half time and the other laid off altogether (PM in commercial construction).
However I haven’t heard of any major layoffs recently.[/quote]
I hear it’s a mess out there. Layoffs are happening, but in numbers small enough to fall under the radar.
Now that it’s an employer’s market, many people lucky enough to get an offer are getting low ball offers.

jameswennParticipant[quote=beanmaestro]I have to admit, I don’t really follow the logic in these limits. Our expenses break down more or less as follows (well, before we bought a house)
25% taxes
35% savings
15% rent
25% other expensesOther than not being stupid enough to grossly overpay for a house, I don’t see why we couldn’t spend 50%+ of our gross income on a house.[/quote]
If you use that break down, once you go to 50% (35% savings + 15% rent) for a home payment, you don’t have any savings, i think 35% for housing is a safer number
