The housing market is such a weird thing. It can so easily be affected and yet everyone has to pay attention to it. The demand for housing in the area is a key determinate of housing prices.BethanyStoppelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00703607206146898181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7863339231703155745.post-79309061022299597452008-05-14T12:48:00.000-07:002008-05-14T12:48:00.000-07:00Isn't it crazy how much it goes up and down?

When I lived in TX, we saw the biggest differences (but I think I mentioned that in class with income disparities...).KMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07723156884341428020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7863339231703155745.post-40690704511681813152008-05-13T12:31:00.000-07:002008-05-13T12:31:00.000-07:00Wow, i wish i had enough money to get a house and...Wow, i wish i had enough money to get a house and pool. i don't really think right now i'd spend it on that stuff but i'd really like to have all that money. I would think that it has to do with the demand for the houses in the different places but also the amount that people are going to be able to pay in those two places. This is price discrimination perhaps? I don't know what the market is like in Houston but madison is a college town, which i would think could sometimes lower the worth of the houses.JOSHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07502039349641927842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7863339231703155745.post-87230265355033038292008-05-12T07:03:00.000-07:002008-05-12T07:03:00.000-07:00I think a lot of it has to do with the environment...I think a lot of it has to do with the environment and the economy of the places. Such as Madison, it is a lot cleaner and nicer place to live than say a big city like Houston. However a place like the ATL where it is a big up and coming town for the past decade or so, and still growing where the economy is booming, in comparison to a place like Houston. Madison is a great town, and I think that drives up the prices of housingbelzmathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16811128417303561559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7863339231703155745.post-14712423295492225482008-05-05T05:17:00.000-07:002008-05-05T05:17:00.000-07:00Um, thats alot of cash being thrown around damn......Um, thats alot of cash being thrown around damn...I have never been to Houston but my uncle who has a friend down there has this gigantic freakin sweet house with like murals painted on the ceiling and this bigass pool in the back. I thought it wouldve cost him shitloads of cash to buy but it was under 300k which surprised me. I would guess that in Houston with having more space than Madison the prices of houses will be less just cuz its looser in terms of where you can live. With more space there is more chances of building another home. Now the problem with Texas is the education system is craptastic.<BR/><BR/>http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/object/dayinpictures?o=4&f=/g/a/2008/05/02/dip.DTL&type=dayinpictures<BR/><BR/>So maybe the better education of Wisconsin drives up the price also? But how can you put a price on a good education? hahaTanvirkamalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15154304119401570360noreply@blogger.com
