    OC housing prices are obscene right now. My parents sold the house when they got divorced 3 years ago. 1600 sq. ft. on a 1/4 acre of land. With a pool, 586k. It's already gone up to 750k. Apartment out here are about $1.50-$3.00 per sq. ft.

    The real estate market is still growing out here as well. I think it went up 25% last year in Orange County, 21% in L.A. county. I'm hoping the bubble will flatten out, but I don't see that happening any time soon.

    You mean you hope the housing bubble bursts, and levels the American economy with it.

    Well this is how pathetic it is around here.

    We had a house growing up, nice neighborhood, 2 story, 4BD 2.5 bds, sold in 88 for 118K, the house today is 'worth' over 300K.

    2500 sqft. 3/4 acre yard



    Most the new houses, even in the low income side of town are now up over 125k. Which sucks if you are looking to 'upsize'

    I did find a 2300SQ ft on 2Acres for 184.

    That house would cost about 1.2 million out here.

    Either you're heavily subsidised, Reiz, or you meant US$200 a week.

    Or you live somewhere west of Toowoomba.

    Let's get this straight. $70 per week, to live in Brisvegas, in a 3 bedroom home.

    Now, this is not just your share of the group house rent, is it? Because when I do a search for accommodation in Central Brisbane under $100 a week, all I get is this. And that aint no 3 bedroom house, that's $100 per ROOM student accommodation.

    Can I just point out that Reiz is being heavily subsidised by the generosity of her friend/landlord. Looks to me like her place is worth AU$1000 a month, minimum, on the open rental market.

    Here in Sydney, you won't find anything within a sensible (say half hour travel time) distance of the city for under $140 a week, and that would be a studio apartment in a shithouse block.

    My house (2 bedroom, 1 bathroom, needed heaps of renovation work when I bought it, on a main road, little garden, about 20 minutes from town) cost $500,000 Australian (approx US$380,000) two years ago. Now that I've fixed it up and made it purdy, I could probably rent it out for say $320 a week (US$240 a week, or a tad under a grand a month).
