Just wanting to vent...
I've been looking for our next house for quite some time now. We tried to sell while the market was somewhat hot, but I think we caught the tailend of it. Either way, we've sold it and have been looking for new home prospects ever since; for about 3 months now.
What I'm so sick and tired of are the current home prices, whether it is for new or preowned homes. We are not picky about what kind of home, but this next home will be a home that we stay in for the next 15-20 years, so I do have some particulars. Those include a 4th bedroom or bonus room, a decent sized second bath that the kids can fit in when they get bigger, and this house to be in a specific school district, as well as a safe area that has the potential to stay that way for the next 15+ years.
With that said, what I find are run-down homes that are way overpriced, or new homes that are no bigger than the home that I am in now (that was brand new when we moved in) and that are priced more than twice as much as my house was 4 years ago. All of the "reasons" I hear about this is about the new State Farm HQ and Toyota factory that is being built in the area, along with an increase in the cost of materials. I'm sorry, but I don't see 4 years causing prices to skyrocket the way they have.
Anyways, sorry, just frustrating.
