cool site! My house was bought in 2003, and fortunately my area is still increasing in value. For some reason Austin's real estate has not been phased yet.
Wow, 387k. Doesn't sound right. I would have thought about 260k. Appraised at 284k 3 years ago.
Good for you Kathy!
The way i see it is i live near 4 cities:
Boston 30miles
Worcester 15miles
providence 25miles
Hartford 40miles
There is only so many homes to go around and is why my area really didnt tank as much as others. Got in at 250 went to about 500 then back down to 400.
