[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here and I can’t believe th lack of reading comprehension here. Nowhere did I say I want to saddle myself with a 1.7M house or even 1.3M. That’s exactly the point! I can’t do that and won’t do that, [b]but I could have had that’s EXACT SAME HOUSE and all the advantages that come with it, had I bought it at 1.1-1.2 2-3 years ago. [/b]That is the point. The exact same thing is suddenly no longer accessible to people who have saved and denied themselves literally their entire adult life to get it, only to see it slip away forever.[/quote]

OP, just wondering why you weren't able to buy back then?  It sounds like this was a really important goal for you. What happened?  Did you make offers but lost out to others?  Were you waiting for a house in a particular neighborhood/school district and none came open? [/quote]

does it really matter?  OP is where she is now.[/quote]

To find another reason the bash someone online, since that gives people so much pleasure, of course![/quote]

This is what’s really happened here. Those of you whining that you can’t have empathy because most people can’t have that live nowhere near the DMV and have no idea what’s happened in the past three years in real estate here. Yes, some places have gone up that much. And the interest rate doubled.

And where I lived before, only the UMC lived in homes over $400,000 so it’s rich to see so many of you in your $300,000 and $700,000 homes feel insulted and insult her as privileged. What a bunch of self-centered, unaware trolls.[/quote]

Many people here have posted that they are living in the DMV in houses far cheaper than OP will consider.[/quote]

She never said she wouldn’t consider cheaper houses. You all are reading into her vent and frustration, assuming the worst of her, taking it personally, and generally being a-holes. [/quote]

She hasn’t said what her budget is now.[/quote]

WHY would she want to trust you to help her? WHY bother to engage with so many jerks? [/quote]

Why bother posting anything then?[/quote]

She came to vent. People were jerks. Why come back? Do you really not understand that? [/quote]

If I posted about suddenly not being able to afford a Mercedes, I would expect the same reaction asking why I couldn’t settle for a Honda when it’s the type of car most middle class people drive.

If I then said “because it means I am forever middle class instead of UMC and I’m sad about that,” I would expect some amount of ridicule. And maybe some sympathy from similar UMC wannabes.[/quote]
