The Winner of the House Contest! March 18, 2008

Well, okay, no one actually won a house. Now that would be nice, right? But, someone did get pretty darn close to the price of my house, which is….

$67,000

Everyone guessed too high. Maybe you were afraid of being insulting. Or perhaps you’ve just never experienced a town like Nowhere, Texas before. The thing is, you can get houses even cheaper than this one not too far away from here. My town has a university, which drives up prices. The towns in these parts with no university have very, very low real estate prices. As in the same house would go for $40,000 or so. No joke.

I do feel like I got a good deal on the house–of course! Coming from Austin, this is peanuts. I can’t imagine what it must seem like to you folks from LA. Don’t feel bad, though. There are no beaches here, and we have crime anyway.

At any rate, the astute winner is…Tina Kubala from The Creative Nerd. I really like her post Reduce and Reuse Failed. Tina will be getting the grand prize of $10! Yea Tina!

I only did that well because I live in Middle of Nowhere Missouri. Thanks for the link love.

Holy crap! I’ve already paid that much into my mortgage and I’m still years away from being free and clear! On the bright side, I think my crawlspace is at least paid off :-/

I’m going to have to think about relocating.
