Well I just contacted a Real Estate agent(Exit Realty) in Barstow CA and I've setup an appointment for Friday @ 2pm, Maybe I'll be able to sell the place quickly, $1,800.00 Deposit and the rest at closing of the place I want to buy(a contingency clause), As to the price the Agent mentioned $12,500.00, It would be nice to sell the place quickly for this(I kinda doubt It'll go for this, But We'll see).

SJ, have you found another place to live yet? What will you do if you sell and have no place to go?

Good question. I think our SJ has a plan so.

SJ, have you found another place to live yet? What will you do if you sell and have no place to go?

Yes I have, It's a place in Adelanto CA on Its own land, In the same Neighborhood as where My Nephew and His Family lives at. It's priced @ $41,000 of course.

One of the 4 places I'm interested in.

I love being close to family too! Wishing you the best of luck selling and buying.

Going to move about 55 miles from where you live now.

Yeah, It's technically cooler than here temp wise and the place has no steps, which My knees will like. Also calls to My Sister in laws place won't be long distance anymore as She lives in nearby Victorville.

Seems like the prices for real estate in the US are really favorable at the moment. Won't imagine how much a place like this would be here in europe....

I was going to make the same remark regarding places in the UK.

I live in a modest 2 bed bungalow with a current price tag of £250,000 (Currently $411,000). Before last year when the property market slumped it was worth a lot more!

When I've got a bit more in savings I might well sell up here and go to the US and live like a king ;)

And I thought the house prices here in the U.S. were! How do people afford house in the U.K. with the prices being so high?

The UK may seem high, But NY or Tokyo Japan is much worse as I remember reading about this or seeing this on TV a while back, Prices of used manufactured homes supposedly don't vary as much and haven't really varied all that much here in the US(They used to be called mobile homes, Cause their made in a factory and then transported to a dealer, then to the home site and that's about as far as their designed to go, after a possible 3rd or 4th time they start to have problems structurally and the moves aren't cheap as the moves cost at least $7,000.00 and that includes packing It up(Mine cost $7K to move from Las Vegas NV to Yermo CA and I had 3 different companies to do the work back in 2006), moving It and setting the home back up in a new location, the idea that they can be moved forever is a myth as their not meant to, they do It better than a house built on site of course and manufactured homes are just as vulnerable to tornadoes or fires as stick built houses are, as both fly a part or burn quite nicely, the news sometimes thinks what's the worst We can show and then goes to a mobile home park over a neighborhood of stick built houses with the same damage).

It really depends on where you live.

In my neighborhood, the going price is somewhere around $1.6 million for 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, 1,500 square feet (four blocks from the ocean).

We couldn't afford to move here, prices were different before 1920.

Go inland 50 miles or so, and the prices drop by an order of magnitude.

Be glad You don't live by the shore line, Since sea level is slowly rising It's eroding beaches and peoples properties are falling victim to the sea. chomp, chomp. Eek! :D

Places will appear more expensive to Americans in the UK because of the current exchange rate. When Ned says "welcome to my neighborhood" take it as a big compliment.

As Ned said, it depend on where you want to live. SJ lives in the area know as the high desert. It is hot, dry and desolate. You don't have to drive very far out of town (either Yermo or Victorville) to be in the middle of no where. But prices have dropped in the last 3 years. Three years ago my house was appraised at $1.2 million. Today I would be lucky if I could get much over $600,000.

Here are a few statewide examples of median priced single family homes today.

High Desert $121,970 down 203.1% from 1 years ago.
Los Angeles $308,540 down 69.3%
Santa Cruz $380,000 down 24.7%
Orange County $433,690 down 44.6%
Riverside $174,400 down 149.6%
San Diego $320,980 down 120.8%
San Francisco $399,040 down 30.3%
Santa Barbara $715,000 down 9.1%

I am surprised San Joaquin County is not on your list. Stockton was named the foreclosure Capital and was in alot of WorldNews.

I'm trying to figure out your math. If something is down 100% then it should be zero. So percentages greater than 100 should be impossible.

It's a real downer market, Unless ones a careful buyer, Otherwise You've bought a hobby and technically a money pit very likely. All around Yermo certain areas are dangerous and off limits, Either a Military Base or old abandoned mine shafts(plenty of those around) and one doesn't want to get shafted out here, As no one might hear You and one could die there all alone.

I got done with all the cleaning I can do and My shoulders hopefully will forgive Me as their squawking a bit at Me. I'm having someone mop up the kitchen soon, But I did the easy stuff(for Me). Anyone buys My place will have to have cash most likely right now, The market has loosened up somewhat for manufactured homes that come with land and are FHA mortgages(min 3.5% down), But not for ones like Mine here.

@ Uli: I'm surprised Arnold(the Terminator) didn't snap up a few while He was at It, He's rich enough I'd think(could be wrong on that).
