it's why i can't watch HGTV.

"My wife rasies butterflies. I am an American History teacher at the local middle school. I'm also the Assistant Girl's Track Team Coach. Our budget for this kitchen and bathroom rennovation project is $275k. We're hoping to keep it under $325k total"

No joke. It doesn't matter the HGTV show, it usually goes something like this:

I weave sweaters for the homeless from my accumulated belly-button lint and my wife raises ridgeback chinchillas for petting zoos. We're expecting our 4th kid and would like to move into something larger. Our budget is $875k.

I think me as a pest control employee and my wife as a bank teller could easily afford that

Fantastic call back.

I hope Johnny keeps doing these weekly so the boomers can show their arse more. Gives me tons of entertainment.

In old metairie, 6250 is above average. 5200 is average outside of MCG and Mulberry area.

You have no idea what you're talking about lol.

You think the average lot in OM is 50x105?

50x120/125 is about as small as they come. A huge swath of OM are 50x150 and the "big" lots are 75x150 or 100x150.

I'd bet less than 10% of all lots in OM are smaller than the one in OP.

I’ve heard that complaining about Boomers and home prices will fix things

If that is, in fact, in Old Metairie, then this is a stupid post.

One of the most expensive neighborhoods in the state is not representative of the housing market at large.

Poster bee Rye will be here shortly to tell us that the area near transcontinental and west esplanade is much nicer and more desirable.

That house is awesome and in a good neighborhood.

I may buy it for myself.

I think you wanted to post something more like this:
Meet me under the Mistletoe

Whoever buys this house at that price is a fricking moron

I dig the interior. It looks like a dead grandma’s house. I’d buy it for 50k
