Re: OT: AARP

Good grief, Phyllis!

What boondocks do you live in anyhow? This is a serious question. I haven't been reading this thread, and really wonder on what you base your assumptions.

We moved to Albuquerque 3 years ago. The realtor we were working with kept sending us listings running between $130,000 and $150,000. I wasn't about to buy that "expensive" a house! I wrote her and told her not to bother sending me any more listings.

We tried to stay under $100,000, but the areas those houses were located in were called "The War Zone", "Gangland West", etc. We ended up getting a small townhome where every house looked identical for $118,000. It was considerably smaller than our home in Roswell.

I could now sell this home any day of the week for $160,000, but would have to pay that much or more for anything livable.

The key word is "need". I sincerely doubt there is any state in the union that doesn't have housing for less than $100,000. You are confusing "want" with "need".
