your neighborhood is pricey.
whats not listed is the one at 4.4 mill
Keep in mind the $/sq ft. I know every market is different but houses in Vegas are going for $70/sq ft., here are are about $100/sq ft. I think $166/sq ft is pretty high.
I never considered it that way, i was looking at overall price. I'll keep that in mind. You think $125 is about top end?
For today's market, yes. I know in 2006-07 it was much higher but that was during the housing boom.
wow, i just checked 2 places here for $per sq foot and one was 163 and the other was 275 :? it's fucking expensive to buy real estate here. even on my old house that I thought I got a good deal on 7 or 8 years ago was 158/sq foot.

no basement?
no
You can always start digging one out with RC toy construction equiptment.
I still need to read that story. I forgot yesterday.
the only issue i have with basements is the extra cost and maintenance. yeah it would be nice to have one for the storage, etc. but then you bring in potential water, sump pumps, extra cost of having to deal with that water, drainage, etc

good for tornadoes also. thats about it.
contrary to popular belief, they are not good for storing dead bodies.
for some reason A.A. likes to have meetings in basements.

i don't think i could buy a house without a basement. in fact i can't remember seeing one here without one. i'm sure there are some houses without basements, but aside from mobile homes, I can't remember seeing one.

Unless you put them down before you pour the cement for the floor... oops, did I say too much?
