Vegas, Baby
By businessbroad | March 18, 2007
We’ve often talked about where we hope to end up after our midwestern house. We’re buying one soon, but we hope to keep it for no more than a year. After that, we’d like to move somewhere warmer. We’d do it now if it weren’t for the insane costs of real estate out in Nevada, California, and Arizona (the three places we’re interested in). I’ve got a great job, but I don’t know how people out west do it. I’ve always heard that your home should be 2-3 times your annual salary, and believe me, those figures aren’t going to put me in a home out west.
For that reason, Las Vegas comes up a lot in our chats. I keep hearing that it’s growing, and that there are a ton of great job opportunities. Of course, I work in a field that’s fairly flexible, so I should be okay almost anywhere that’s halfway urban. I guess I just need to spend a little more time looking into Las Vegas homes and prices. I doubt they’re anywhere close to the price of homes in Los Angeles. Anyone have any experience in this area? I’d especially love to hear from anyone who has left the super-cheap midwest for a part of the country where things aren’t stuck in 1970 prices
