Ya, I know Garage... Last time I really looked at the home prices in NC I was shocked. 250 - 350k seemed to be the norm. But the further south you go, and the further west you go, the less pricey they are. The trick is going to be finding my price in the area I want. I don't have a lot of hope, but I have a willingness to buy a fixer-upper as long as the land is there and the house is in reasonably good condition. Time will tell. Meanwhile, I shovel snow and get some exercise, so it's not all that bad.
