house hunting down here is nauseating. There isnt anything but shit for under $250K. 250K in Kittanning would get you a NICE fucking house. ---

My sister lives in the DC area, you cant even get into a single family home for under $500,000. The condo she lives in was around $350,000. But the job market there is great, everyone wants to live there. ---

But the job market there is great, everyone wants to live there. Exactly. The job market in DC is totally different. There are no high paying jobs in OC. Its 100% unskilled labor. Its easy to walk into a 80K job in DC. You’d be damn lucky to find something for $30K here. I dont know how the fuck people do it. ---

> [@Jeff95TA](#): > > Makes me even more satisfied living in Pittsburgh. > > Mike - how far out do you have to go before the prices come down? far. Things are more reasonable in Salisbury, which is at least a 30 minute drive. Your house would most likely be a million dollar home down here. ---

Be glad you live in Pittsburgh - this is one of the most reasonable, predictable house markets in the country. I used to live in Connecticut and left when I realized that I could never afford to buy a house that I would actually want to live in. …sorry, but there are no $150,000 houses in my neighborhood. However, mine is for sale if anyone is interested: [http://www.northwood.com/property/property.asp?PRM\_MLSNumber=584385&PRM\_MlsName=Westpenn](http://www.northwood.com/property/property.asp?PRM_MLSNumber=584385&PRM_MlsName=Westpenn) Make me an offer! Willing to negotiate. ---
