Try Des Moines, Iowa for homes. I've got a 1985 4 bedroom, 2 bath, 4 level split at near 2,000 Sq. Ft. for $126,000 2 years ago. Everything is less than 5 years old (furnace, central air, H2O heater). We just refinanced last month at 4 1/8% for 15 years and are only paying $60 more a month vs. our old loan at 6 7/8% over 30 years!!!!!! Yeah for the bad economy!
Nice purchase on the ranch Nate. Looks nice and ready for an extra garage stall to be added.
And for those that don't own the house they live in, picking up leaves is so much better when they're your own leaves...
"I own this leaf, and this one, and that one over there..."
