The house next to us just went up for sale. The market has definitely slowed down, and the high prices are nutty. The asking price for the house next door, smaller than ours, is 3X+ what we paid in 1998. As is the trend in the neighborhood, houses are being bought and turned into rentals for the nearby University. Big $ for landlords, so our land is still a good investment.
But its like we can see the end to our time living here. We used to think we'd stay in this house for a long long time. But it has a seeable end, we'll probably last through 2010... Wonder what will be next?
