LIFE: House Hunting in the Bay Area
Mar 28th, 2008 by azdean
I’ve not had time to post lately because the company I have worked for for seventeen years in Tucson was acquired and the new owners recently announced plans to relocate us to the San Jose area. Each employee has a limited time to decide if we will accept their relocation offer and that means I have been spending LOTS of time looking at the housing situation in the Bay area. Fortunately, the current sub-prime mortgage crisis has lowered prices significantly. Unfortunately, for the Bay area, that means that houses that had been in the $700,000 range may now be in the $500,000 range, which is still VERY HIGH!!!!
Now, If you are willing to spend forever commuting, there are some good deals about fifty to seventy miles East of San Jose, but who wants to spend so many hours of their life stuck in traffic?
Anyway, my wife and I will soon be making a trip out there just to get a better feel for the area and what might be possible. We are praying that God will show us what to do.

Dean! This is not good news for those who love you in Tucson!
Thank you Aaron for your kind words, but alas, perhaps there is a need for me someplace besides Tucson. At least we are seeking God to see what He is saying about that.
