congrats

 

congrats man

 

Sweet dude.

 

one of my friends lives in highland lakes... its a nice area but a big of a pain for comunting... 23 I hear is a PITA. Congrats.

 

nice.

I just bought my first one too a few months back. Great feeling hey?!!?

That house here would cost 600k+

I paid 311 for mine and its not nearly that big and no garage

 

dude, when are you going to let me come over and start building you a pool. well since it will be man made personally by me with a shovel and some other sick **** i guess when can call it the "POND".

oh, it will be ******* sick! ladies, or men for the silly fence jumpers out there. i got this all planned out. TRUST ME!

 

Awesome man, congrats to you!

 

SWEET MAN! congrats!!

 

sweet house. congrats. I just bought my first house a few months ago. Its amazing how the cost of living and market changes effect the prices of houses, though. My house is about the same same size, and was only $120,000 in Columbus. 200k around here gets you a really big house. Guess we're all cheapos out here, lol.

 

yea, if you ever let me know when the hell you're coming!

well i work right on 23, and drive to and from work that way anyways. but what's nice is that i go to work usually around 11 am, and come home around 9pm. so i miss the traffic in the morning and the night.

thanks to everyone else for the nice words!

 

Congrats! I hope to be buying within the next year. I absolutely cannot wait to be a homeowner.

BTW, $200k gets you an absolute MANSION here. I'm looking at good 3br/2ba 2 car garage w/yard starter homes at around $70-80k here.

 

Congrats man! I'm happy for you!

 

nice house congrats! new house FTW!

 

yea, believe me i know steph watches all these shows on the home and garden network or whatever and it's just rediculous how cheap other parts of the country are. that house is kinda in the boonies, if i got that same house where i live now it would be rediculous. my parents house is about the same size, has a smaller yard, smaller garage, and no fireplace and it probably about triple that price.

if i called a realtor in my area, and told them my budget (which was higher than what we spent) they would probably laugh and hang up

 

lucky if u can find a house for 200 here.. :/

 

here too. in the area i'm moving they're mostly around that price. where i live now, not a chance. but where i'm moving used to be a summer only area, so many of the houses are bungalows and log cabins and whatnot. but in the past 10 years or so people really started living there all year round, so they started doing things like adding heat, and air conditioning, and making it really liveable. i'd expect that in the next 10 years or so the value of these homes are really going to jump.

 

when can i come over and start the pool?

 

i think i'll pass on the bodnar special!

 

nice job man...ur right thats a steal in this area although its a little out in the middle of nowhere for me (my ex lives in ringwood which is a similar area)...whens the cobaltss.net house warming party?? me paul and russo will bring the beer!!

 

wow NJ must have high costs. My parents home is a bit over 250k value and they have 10 acres of land and a house thats nearly twice as big as this. I guess they got a deal.
Anyways, great house, it looks comfortable and welcoming. Plus it's sweet that you now have a garage.
Grats!

 

well, closing is oct. 31st.. so, nov 1st?

yea. it's insane the prices here. in my area, a 3 bedroom house that doesn't need any work and has LESS property will go for about 400,000 or more. my gf's parents house is worth about 750,000 probably, and it has zero land. and it's not even a big house. not to mention they pay about 11,000 in taxes.

believe me, the area i'm moving to is extremely cheap for this end of jersey. i wouldn't be able to afford any halfway decent house if i didn't move up that way.

 

w00t PARTY!!

 

$200,000? thats it? wow...what town?

 

very nice man, I'm actually in the process of trying to buy a house a little upstate from the city

 

yeah ur 2nd in line for a CSS.net housewarming party
