New House

Similar goes for SC, ARK, and other states where the housing market didn't ridiculously inflate. Hell, I couldn't afford my house in the Baltimore 'burbs if I had to buy it at todays prices. I bought it in '00 right before the market took off. It's worth over twice what I paid.

A nice location in Arlington TX is much cheaper than a nice location in the DC burbs.

and I don't want to live in DC, with their rediculous populus and rediculous cost of living.
so I live north of Atlanta, where I have a 'DC area $1M home' on 1.5 acres that's worth $200-something in GA, and in a nice area, surrounded by country clubs.

The Dept. of Labor regional adjustment table that my company uses (we are after all a gov't contractor) says that I got a 10% salary adjustment when they transferred me from Cincinnati to San Diego. That wouldn't have been a problem if I were one of the many folks who moved out here during the 90's, instead of the one guy who got transferred in 2003 after the 400% inflation.
Upon leaving Maineville, OH (an upscale suburb outside the 275 loop on the N.E side of the Cincy area) I sold my 1500 sf home (with oversized 2 car garage and another 1500sf full basement on about 1/4 acre) for $160,000. Here in Carlsbad I pay $1,700 a month rent for a 700sf 1 bedroom apartment with 1 car garage. A house like the one I had in Ohio would cost me a minimum of $600,000 if I moved further inland, and over $800,000 where I am now.
Inflated salary my ***...
