Congrats SandM! Gotta love that big garage.

I've been starting to look in my neck of the woods as well. Been renting for the last 1.5yrs since the dv and have had enough. Prices around here continue to fall to the point that I can now basically buy a bigger house than what I'm in now and pay less for mortgage/tax/everything than I do in rent.

Place I'm eyeballing has an average garage but a nice big sideyard that would be ripe for a garage addition - like a 30ft deep bay!
