Thanks again!

Now after reading replies, I have another question...

When you say "good" or "absurd" in reference to housing prices, what exactly does that mean?

Here cost of living is ridiculously high. My husband and I practically STOLE our house, 3 bed/2bath on 0.62 acre for $115K. I found a listing in Tennessee for a similar house on 5 acres for the SAME price. Here, that property would have easily been $500K or more. Rent for an apartment here depends on what city and bedrooms, but averages around $800 for a studio or 1 bedroom. Rent on a whole house is going to be $1500+ depending on city and size of house. These aren't even L.A. prices either! I know other areas are lot less than that though.
