1.2 mil here in CO and went and bought a bigger brand new house for 600k that should sell for 1.8mil but guess now is the time to buy not the time to sell. He just got lucky and everything went smooth for him. I pay 1200 a month on my 1200sqft apartment and I think I am going for a house next it kind of sucks paying for something you know you will never know plus it a good time to invest in a home while they are low.
