Piggybacking off the other thread for people in the $100-149k range but increasing it for my situation.
4 months ago hubs and I got married and moved from my "starter" home into a much more permanent home. It's bittersweet because that mortgage was down to $110k and now we're up to $175k BUT we see ourselves in this new home for a long, long time. It's closer to work (I bike now, biking is cool), faces south and was very well built so our utilities have been 70% less this winter, it's in a better school district, closer to grocery stores, restaurants etc ie very walkable/bikeable. Basically we got to move into a community that better fits our needs for the long term.
Anyways enough rambling. Our goal is 4yrs 3months, starting at $176.2k today, who wants to race?
