SBird--It's really sad, because it's really true. I work with lots of folks who make much less than the median household income here, and the household income to be able to afford the median house here is way above the median household income... Mrs. Figby--I was thinking of you while I was writing this post. We both seem to have hit the market just at the wrong time. Sigh.

We are now down to about 75% of our original asking price and are STILL not selling. We may have to go even lower. (SOB!) Even with the depressed market in NJ, we won't be able to afford anything near what we were hoping. Wishing you every buck you can possibly wring out of the place... Oh, how I can relate.
