My townhome is the right half of this building. I say "my" loosely b/c I rent. There are very good arguments for buying or building in the next year, but I've not really been set on where I want to be geographically, and didn't want to be stuck trying to sell a place if I decided to move. Anyway, I'm enjoying it for now. . .

Very nice J, but where is the snow?

Looks like a nice place, Jason. Two car garage, very nice.

If you want some advice, I'd say buy if you're going to be where you are for at least a year, especially if the real estate market in your area is reasonably strong. In addition to the tax benefit you get from deducting mortgage interest, your equity will almost certainly appreciate and you can apply the appreciation to a new place if and when you move.

Bah all your houses are crap compared to mine!!!!!!!!!

Right now I live here

but because I bought 3 new watches this year I might have to move to this next year

You are assuming I am willing to sell my summer home Roger.

Rockrolex · 7 November 2005, 01:47 PM

I really like your current residence, Roger. It has that windswept je ne sais qua look. And it looks nicely air conditioned. Important for those hot summer days and nights. Where's the pool?

I agree, hence my "good arguments" comment. I'm looking at some places in a town that's about ten minutes away, but is probably a better real estate market.

aahhhh the pool, cant forget about that

dman · 7 November 2005, 02:17 PM

Thanks, guys. But it's not nearly as big as some of the McMansions that festoon the area within 2-3 miles of my house.

It is big enough and cozy enough for me to call home though.
