Originally posted by Celeste:in some places, but places like Baltimore, well, i think its a long way from reaching a plateau. houses are going for 80k and meanwhile, 2 blocks away they are building 400k condos. looks like a good investment in my book, even if it is kinda 'ghetto' right now.
I don't know about a bubble popping, but things have got to plateau soon. I mean, I love my house, but I can't see the value of it going up and up and up…it just doesn't make sense to me.
yes, Balto is still a great place to buy/invest but less so with every passing week

I'm not disagreeing w/ you - alls I'm saying is that a house that was 80k last year is 120k this year - like most people I'd rather buy at 80 than 120

Originally posted by Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer:i dont know and i dont care. but they are building a lot of low income housing around town too. half of the freakin poor neighborhoods are boarded up rowhomes anyway. i dont think that many people even LIVE in Baltimore anymore….

$400K townhomes. Who the fuk is buying these? How many doctors and lawyers can there possibly be?
$400K translates to maybe $2200/month mortgage and property taxes, given current mortgage rates, I think. If you're a two wage earner income family, you needn't be doctors or lawyers to afford that.
But I agree that $400K for a townhouse sucks ass.
