BTW, where exactly are you in relation to Seattle, and is that price for a house common to the Seattle area or something specific your area in particular? Is the housing market around there really depressed?
We're like 3-4 hours south of Seattle. It's much cheaper to live down here. Not that I've looked much into it but I remember years ago looking at housing prices in Seattle and they were comparable to what it costs to live in my dad's area of Chicago (Midway area
( ... )
There's a minor chance I might be looking for a residence around the Seattle area. Depends on first of all, whether I actually get past the interview round I did Friday (haven't heard yet, nerves are jumping), and past the next (final) interview round to an offer, depends on the offer ... depends on what we decide about things if I get to the point of an offer.
That would be awesome. We could meet half way and have lunch, lol. If I had a car that is because my husband sure wouldn't drive me to a lunch date, lol.
As I said, minor chance ;) I received an unsolicited recruitment from a major company in my field, located in Seattle. No telecommuting options. I did interview round 2 on Friday.
C is also thinking about looking too, and Seattle is not a bad place for him to look. Our biggest problem would be the house here, and probably having to hold onto it. Given how much we've paid down, we could easily sell it to cover the mortgage (probably the mortgage + 60-75K even) but that would still be a big loss for us.
It'd be a great adventure (I know our move was). I've yet to get up to Seattle. We had planned to go this summer but never got around to it (the kids always wanted to go to the beach instead) and now it's the rainy season so too blah to go.
hopefully it'll all work out for you guys whichever way. My husband started talking move again to a different house (maybe something bigger but that means moving out of this town to a cheaper area) and I started having a panic attack. I am so not into moving again. I told him that. This was our 5th move since we've been together (12 years). I'm tired of moving every couple of years. Especially since I have to do all the work. Ugh.
