Re: Buying House in US

Ah, of course the perpetual nosey parker butting in. Actually, Ossie can also be short for Osborn and Oswald, but unlikely for a female granted. BTW is that an avitar or a self portrait?

Re: Buying House in US

My guess is you are Australian, right? It would be great to hear your views on the health care here, once you've started working. Is your husband US, or UK or Aussie?

Re: Buying House in US

I am actually in LA, although San Diego appeals more. It's smaller, and more of it on the coast. I've kayaked and swam in La Jolla and sometimes eat in the La Jolla restaurants. I'm not sure I'd want...

Re: Buying House in US

Ozzidoc, $500k for a SFH in Del Mar isn't likely so you're probably right it's a condo, and somebody got realistic when they realized the mug era had come to an end.

Re: US Patriotism.

I'm guessing that icon is tongue in cheek, as there is nowhere in my post that I am putting down yanks (or Turks), and if you read the whole post you'd see that I readily admit to whining pom.

I entirely sympathize with that view and I wish you all the best. I assume that you got a good deal and payments are (and will always be) within your means, but that is none of my business. I am also...

Re: Buying House in US

I think there was a very small dead cat bounce this year in many areas, so yes you want to preclude seasonal uplifts in any assessment of where the market is going. Some say the next two to three...
