You're absolutely right � we DO just need to go with the flow!

I've heard the horror stories about the housing market in England, particularly London, and it sounds like it's even worse than it is here. It's just the polar opposite of what is happening in the US right now, just south of the border. Houses are being foreclosed left, right, and centre. Here the prices just keep going up and up and up, and people are actually buying them! I don't get it � it's not like everyone is a doctor or a lawyer. The average Joe can not afford a $750,000 house yet they are selling like hotcakes in my city � and these are just average houses � little 3-bedroom, normal houses!

My husband and I are also just renting a one-bedroom apartment (flat) and we got in at a ridiculously low rent. The law states they are only allowed to raise rent by a certain percentage each year for current tenants, so we've been very lucky. If we move to a two-bedroom apartment we'd be looking at closer to $1000 a month now, and to be honest I'd rather be spending it on a mortgage! If hubby can get a job up north, out of this ridiculously expensive city, where you can still buy a house for a reasonable $150-250,000, then that's what we're going to do. He just needs to get a job!
