We bought a lovely 12 year old home in Maine for $225,000. If I were still living in New Zealand I could never own a home like this for under 1/2 million dollars. 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, lovely deck looking out onto our 3 acres. I love our home.
Maybe you guys should move to SD. It's not terribly far away, and the traffic is only bad at the times it makes sense. (M-F mornings and afternoons). Plus rush hour actually is only an hour.

I hear the east coast is pretty pricey too, on a par similar to LA.... 225k is still pretty reasonable.
The market here in LA is starting to come back around in terms of prices. Things are starting to slowly rise again. We've probably got a 100k or so of equity, I keep seeing nice homes in other parts of the country for under 150k and something similar here would be 700k or more....and I think, damn, I could have one and darn near pay it off.... LOL.....

My company has an office down there and I hear that the traffic is pretty bad too, not LA bad, but pretty rough.
