This thing is hokey. It doesn't really account for much unless you're dual income.

That was an eye opener. In the Portland/Vancouver area:


TOP 1% $343,000

TOP 5% 186,600

TOP 10% 143,110

TOP 25% 93,683

TOP HALF 55,399

BOTTOM 25% 29,476

BOTTOM 10% 13,925

So we would basically have to almost double our income to stay in the same relative placement in Orange County.

I don't know about that. 2700 sq ft non-baller house in a nice neighborhood. Has a one bedroom/1 ba walkout basement too. Not a big lot, but a killer view. Nature preserve behind us- never be built on.



Little over $210K in '03. House was a yr old then.
