It's an ongoing joke on my street among the people who have lived here a while that we no longer could afford to buy our houses. Although the price appreciation (which probably will reach a breaking point) is great, the rise in real estate taxes is difficult. There is a house a block from me that went on the market in the fall at over $1 million. It hasn't sold and I haven't checked to see if they have come down in price, but that news was a stunner. Big brick house on a corner lot, wraparound porch.

You do know that the city makes money available to people who want to rehab vintage bungalows? I have heard it's a great deal...someone at work recommended it to me. But...this house is not a bungalow.

Good luck on your search. Nice for IconBaby to have a back yard to play and dig dirt in.
