Is the pay higher in areas with higher real estate prices? Becuase that house, while cute, is fairly modest, and the mortgage is more than I even make in a month.

Yes salaries are much higher here, in general. Unless you work for McGraw Hill!

Hey! I resemble that remark!

I haven't looked since, but, before the crash, SF had the highest median housing prices in the country ($750K), next in line was San Jose ($650K), and then LA and NY were both about $550K. To compare to income, median income in SF at the time was 72K, while NY was in the mid-50s. So there does seem to be some correlation.

Well soon (I HOPE) there will be no resemblance for remarks because you won't be working there!

Thanks, askye! It's 3 years old now and I still love it! The countertops and cabinets are just Ikea.

Apparently, I will know more about that on Friday.

(Fingers crossed for megan walker!)

Holy SHIT, housing prices in Cali FLOOR me.

We have a 2 story, 3 BR with a basement, separate garage, front sunroom, back screened in porch, full DR, LR with a (nonworking) fireplace and deck and yard.

Granted, our house needs some work -- a hole in the kitchen ceiling, the old French doors leading to the back porch were taken out and replaced with some lovely pink insulation thingies, and the deck needs a ton of boards replaced. It was a farmhouse in the early 1900's, and was a B&B (although this makes me NUTS -- the bedrooms are tiny and close together. Did only people who KNEW each other wel stay here?)

But it cost about 125K in 2005, and it's in a really nice neighborhood -- we're thisclose to Mission Hills, which is a schmancy mansion-y burb.

Apparently, this amount of money would purchase a cardboard box in SF. A small one.
