Who is the Liar?

[weedoutheweak]

240, you keep saying that you make more than Chick?  Here's one easy way to test monetary worth, post your address. Then all get big memebrs can plug in your addresses to http://www.zillow.com/.

Also, what do each of you drive?

What was your total household income last year?

240, if you're going to keep calling Chic out, it's time to put up or shut up.

[240 is Back]

LOL... I never said I make more than Bob Chick.

Bob does okay.  I dunno about $4.3M annually, but I know chick does okay.

For someone who makes 4.3 million anually, he sure has a pretty average apartment...

Weedout you are getting as bad as Chick. Why keep calling out 240? If Bob makes so much and is so well off, why does he sit there on his computer and worry about what is said about him? 240 made Bob look bad, but Bob made himself look worse by making false allegations. 240 OWNS Bob, end of story.

Living in SoCal, almost any property near Bob is going to be pricier than anything in 240's area. 

Housing costs out here are insane. 

[Chick]

Why would I put hard earned money into a apartment, which has NO return, NO equity, NO investment?

My money is better served elsewhere, and I'll invest it in a house within the next year...where theres a chance for equity to build and resale value...

No shit. The average 2 BR in my modest suburban 'hood costs 12 gallons.

Regular.

[Tre]

...costs 12 gallons.

Regular.

Thanks for the reminder.

I'm encouraging *everyone* to start some sort of business this year and to take a tax deduction on as much of your fuel costs as possible.  This is beyond bullshit and it's time we taxpayers stood up and started taking it out of someone's behind.

In early 2004, we were offered one-half of a semi-detached duplex for just over $440,000.  I thought it was a ridiculous amount to pay...nice place, but I didn't think it was a reasonable amount to pay for HALF a freaken house. 

Two months ago, it sold for $574,000.

in SW Florida, the ballooning real estate market peaked early this year.  there are now more RE agents than there are proterties for sale.   News said home prices have dropped an average of 5% since Jan.  I am waiting a tad longer before starting my dream home.

you can still get brick shells in historic neighborhoods of baltimore for 30 grand

I stay at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. 

Up in Wash, DC.

What is my house worth?

[The Luke]

I live in Dublin, Irealnd... where house prices have risen at 20% per year for the last ten years or so.

I'm 28, living at home with my parents.... however, over here there is no shame in that. The average house price (small two bedroom house) here in Dublin is about 400,000 Euro ($500,000).

I'm living in a modest four bedroom, semi-detatched house (measley 900 square foot footprint) with a market value of 800 to 850,000 Euro (just over a million dollars). In order to qualify for a 350k Euro thirty year (yes, 30 year) mortgage I'd need 40k Euro ($50k) cash deposit and an income of 80k Euro ($100k) annually.

Rents can be as high as 2k Euro a month for a three bedroom house outside the city, (rush hour journey time to the city centre being 80 mins by car), or 1,200 Euro a month for a tiny (500 square foot) two bedroom apartment in the suburbs.

You guys don't know you're born.

open a pub and get rich from the irish drunks

[The Luke]

The rule in Dublin is:

The cost of a pub equals the Gross Annual Turnover plus one million in the suburbs; Gross Annual Turnover plus two (or three) million in the city; or Gross Annual Turnover plus five (to twenty or more) million in the city centre. Buying a small family run pub in a bad neighbourhood (capacity of 100 people max) means spending three to fifteen million Euros (that's $3.75m) minimum.

Land in Dublin city centre is currently selling at 85 to 115 million Euros an acre ($106m to $143m) ON AVERAGE!!

No wonder we pay $8 for a bottle of Bud in Dublin nightclubs.

The Luke

[WOOO]

I dunno, but according to the ussearch.com he lives in Playa Del Rey... I won't post his address out of respect, but that's not a cheap place to live....

[Tre]

... but that's not a cheap place to live....

His area is more expensive than mine and in my part of Ventura County, 35-year-old homes sell for more than $400/sq ft.  For a smalltown boy from the rural South, the numbers out here defy all logic, reason, and common sense. 

[badlad]

I was in Ireland  a few years back. What has happened there with regard to the economy and property prices etc just defies belief.

yea like in drugs, illegal drugs pumped into your body. smart choice

[Ursus]

Ireland, particularly the free state has sky rocketed due to the 'celtic tiger'. It is literally insane. No exaggeration. I believe it is the most costly place to live in europe. or at least a year or 2 ago it was.

I live in a small semi detached 4 bedroom house. a few years ago it was worth maybe £80,000 now its worth well over £115,000. and i live on the outskirts in belfast. Apartments, 1 bedroom very small living area etc in the prime city center location in belfast are selling for £750,000. insane.

Over in america what you buy for maybe 200,000 dollars over here we would have to shell out in mantyy instances over a million for not a particularly good location. think 1.5 million for prime locations.

rent is def a killer. you really dont know how good you lot have it
