Haha! Of course you are going outside. I just now caught up!
Mare, count your blessing the manager is so responsive. She sounds like a keeper.
Prostar, congrats on reaching the house hunting point!
Food for thought... there is a lot of talk about the housing bubble in CA... expectations are is that it's about to burst. You could potentially save major bucks (and have lower property tax) if you can wait until the market adjusts downward. I would still go looking at houses to get a feel for what's out there, but look them up in Zillow and see what they went for a couple of years ago. Those prices could be on their way back. If you find your dream place, you have to grab it. But talk to your realtor and see what he thinks about the market down your way. No way I would buy something up here right now. Way over priced for junk because there are not many places for sale.
