Participantdharma, if you buy today you will be upside down by the time you move it, it’s just the way it is. I am feeling this is 23109 version 2.0, 80% of your reasons to buy now are emotional (roots, tired of moving, newlyweds), none of your reasons are that you have found the house you are in love with and you feel it is a wise investment that will be more profitable than renting. Nope, no facts, just feelings. So just do it and don’t look back at the prices for a few years.
Regarding the land, that’s an extreme step from the city life you spoke of in past posts, now you want the space of acerage. Just so you, with land comes neighbors who like their privacy, the further apart the houses, the more likely the occupants like it that way. If you are looking at 15 y.o. houses near the wine country and it’s not a custon, it’s vintage hills or chardonnay hills, not bad areas, you’ll like it there and at 369k it is a fair price for more than 2500 sq and a 3car on a half acre, taxes and assoc are low, vintage has a nice pool, not sure if chardonnay does.
There is no way to give a sq ft price other than in general terms. A 1300 sq ft house and 4000 sq ft house may occupy the same size lot, there fore have different costs per sq., the larger the home, the less per square as a general rule. Single story homes usually have a higher per sq ft value as well. Land, location, view, etc. all variables, so without fairly specific info, we can’t tell you if it is a good deal or not.

ParticipantLook at the upside, Ken is 59, Mysti is 37. It was cute when they were rolling in the dough but “times they are a changing.” Mysti, no doubt, after the vehicle trade in doesn’t work will go with a “man upgrade.” Sorry, Ken, we piggys may end up with owning your house, but we’ll only borrow your gal, I may have the means to handle the mello roos on your pad, but no sense paying the freight for one of these, “spoiled by the R/E boom” women, at least not on a permanent basis.

ParticipantSee that’s why I need not post things past midnight after a night of drinking, but thank you for the links equlizer. All of them make valid points but my economic beliefs are vintage Adam Smith. Lobbyists, corporate evildoers will be had by karma as will the fb’s. Government over-control of markets always fails, blackmailing or however you want to paint it, it’s still a defense to meddling in the market as much as it was meddling itself and it never works for either side. Lenders that took risks are licking their wounds right now, borrowers who shouldn’t have are doing the same, who are you to prevent them from learning lessons, there were no gun pointed at anyone’s head and that is when the gov’t should step in, not before.
Lets say every locality could adopt protectionist mortgage rules, would that benefit you and I, no it wont. The government cannot make stupid people smart, it cannot eliminate risk and it certainly cannot control markets without penalty.
All human situations have their inconveniences. We feel those of the present but neither see nor feel those of the future; and hence we often make troublesome changes without amendment, and frequently for the worse. -Benjamin Franklin
