Granted, much of their retirement will be funded by the equity they gained just by living in Howard County. <br /><br />I know in England they have 40-year mortgages, which might be appropriate for younger homebuyers. But if I was above 40, I probably wouldn't want to be taking on that kind of obligation.Haydukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09770056537577811703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16483028.post-34122621601216577242006-10-12T22:36:00.000-04:002006-10-12T22:36:00.000-04:00With the cost of houses in this area, offering hom...With the cost of houses in this area, offering homes at less than three hundred thousand dollars would be low cost housing half the time. My parents bought their house ten years ago and paid in between a hundred fifty and two hundred thousand for it. In that time it has more than double in value. We live in a crappy townhouse, the single family homes are worse by far!<br /><br />There are half a million and million dollar homes all over this area, and thats becoming the norm. Is that a bad thing? I think so, it will worry me more when we institute something like what Japan hse, namely multigeneraltional loans.<br /><br />Still, the cost if living is high enough that, even if I wanted to stay in Maryland instead of traveling the world, I would most likely not upon completing college.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16483028.post-26641232414805738302006-10-12T21:01:00.000-04:002006-10-12T21:01:00.000-04:00I think it is a great house.
