Noooo! Not more starfish!
Never stop learning, even if it hurts. Ego bruises are practically mandatory as you learn unless you've never risked enough to make a mistake.

By the way, the houses near the tech center sure are expensive - about $250,000 and up I think?
Wow, that's cheap by UK standards. Average house price here is around £226,000 - roughly $350,000. And that's with the market plummeting right now.
Same here. Building a new house can quickly go up to €350,000 (including land), which is about $432,740.
Next thing you know all those crazy Americans are going to complain about their gas prizes 😀
That's amazing. Where we moved from (Memphis), you could buy a decent home for about $100,000. So two and a half times that amount - ringing in at a quarter of a million dollars - is expensive to us.
So I suppose a lot of people rent in Europe?

A development is being finished up the street from us (we rent). They're 5 bedroom houses on tiny plots of land. I contacted the real-estate agency listed on the sign in front of the cul-de-sac to find out what they were going for. $1,500,000 - $1,700,000.
Utter madness.

That's rediculous. So the mortgage on a 30 year loan would be what? About $9,000 a month?
It's always interesting to get different perspectives here, from different places in the world.

It would be $15,000 - by a rule of thumb, given the usual interest rates, you can expect to pay about one percent of the principal.
Yes, rates are now artificially depressed but it will not go forever.

I wouldn't mind having a job where I could afford to have that large of a mortgage payment. Not saying I would, but the it would be nice to be able to handle that on a monthly basis.

So I suppose a lot of people rent in Europe?
Yes and no. It depends on the country I suppose, but although lot of people do rent appartments and some of them rent homes, a great part of us still buy houses/appartements. Especially in Belgium, where we "have a brick in our stomach", e.g. it's in our nature to want to build our own home.
I recently did, got a pretty crazy mortgage on 30 years (but still payable and I can live comfortably) and a few grey hairs from the contractors.

70% of Italians own the house they live in.
Well, sort of.
Who owns the house while you're paying the mortgage? You or your bank?

Technically you, but you've given the bank rights to take the house from you when you lent it to them as collateral for the money they gave you to purchase the house.
Confused yet? @=)

Wish I had the income to afford a $1.5 million house.
Wish I lived in Memphis where you can get a house for $100K.
The house we just bought was a short-sale for $244,000. Most houses in that range need $50,000 worth of work, we were fortunate to find this one that just needed some cleanup and maybe some interior paint. That's what a decent house goes for in most of NH. As you go further north you can find some for a little less, but most houses that don't need some pretty major work are $200,000 or more. Especially one that can house 6 people.
If we could have swung $400,000 we would have had a lot more options in my area.
