We live in Upstate New York; the housing market in this area is a far cry from that in the SF bay area. My law school buddy from SF marvels when I tell him you can buy a really nice 2,500 sq. ft. house for under $150,000 easily in some of the best neighborhoods.

That being said, prices in my area are on the rise, assuring that this buyer's market will not last forever. While we aren't thinking of buying until after school is over, we do want to take advantage of the market before it starts to readjust to national averages.
