If you're looking for a little higher end neighborhood (west SJ) you're going to be starting around 425 for the same size home. The bonus to buying right now is that rates are stupid low and you can buy more home for less money per month... but on the flip side inventory is way down are there are huge bidding wars going on. Check area's like Willow Glen, Evergreen hills or even Santa Clara. All are decent places.
Taxes are a tad bit higher in CA versus NY but you wont have to deal with the dreaded Tax Stamp that comes with buying in NY. Ive seen those go for 10-15k in NY for a similarly priced home depending on what part of NY you're in.  |
i dont know where you live, but 425? yea right. most single story homes in the 1500 square feet range are in the 600k range, especially in the nicer parts of SJ. you can find upto 800k for a single story as well. go check zillow.com.
