Where is Scaramento ... North Korea? Some people need to learn how to spell.
Wow, all that for a transposed c and a in Sacramento?
Idiot.

I'm a native too. Even with a supermajority they (state government) can't do anything useful with the state budget. Instead they only seek to impinge on my rights and raise taxes. But this isn't P&N so I'll stop.
See, that's crazy. How are people getting these mortgages if there isn't that many people with HHI of over 200k?
Well, assuming you put 20% down, your mortgage would be roughly $3,650/mo. That's $43,800/yr. Net.why would you need a HHI >200K to get a mortgage on a 750K place?

If you don't make that much, you're probably looking at having Ramen for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner. And, you'd have phone books for furniture.
Weird, when I plug in 615K/30yr/3.2% the mortgage calculator spits out $3,426.20/mo. That was with property tax and .5% PMI but not including HOA.so here's the math on my place in SF that I bought last oct. Cost more than 750K, I put down more than 20% and borrowed 615K for 30yr fixed @3.2%. My monthly payment is $2,659.68. In fact when you include property tax and HOA minus the income tax write off my all in is ~$3,400. I make >100K but a fair amount less than 200K, money really isn't an issue as you describe it above.

You're just awesome, I guess.
Was born and raised in California. Lived there for the first 31 years of my life but moved in 2007 to North Carolina. Still miss California every day and wish we never left.
Not so smart when you make over 100K and can't save up enough money for a down payment on a house in Cali. My property tax is roughly 10% of my property's current value. I pay $2K/month for mortgage + HOA right now. I don't make a lot of money, but I get by. Car's paid off long time ago. I pay for electricity, fios/tv/phone, CC bills and gas monthly
Why do you feel this way?
How is Norther California like in terms of living? Sutter County? Yuba City?
Seen some photos and it seems like a quiet place. Mixed bag in terms of houses, some low, some high.

Those are both pretty rural counties. Close enough to the city (Sacramento) for convenience...far enough for comfort. Both will have relatively high crime rates per capita...but not as high as many major US cities.
VERY ag-related counties...lots of ag-related jobs.

I've been in NC for 6 years and I still feel like I'm visiting. I doubt that will ever go away.
