It's the primary reason I don't have a car right now--I was trying to save for the down payment and knew I wouldn't be able to afford the car after buying a place and paying for a mortgage. Anyway, my question is this and it really has nothing to do with everything I just said, but I'm random tonight and this is a special thread of real estate randomness so I'll ask anyway: my parents think it's crazy for a single person to want to own a house, but I don't want to live in a condo. I want land and a teeny tiny little house in the middle of nature. Do you think that's possible? Or just plain stupid.

who is way too hyped up on sugar and is queen of run-on sentences at the moment.
If you know you're going to stay in WA for a few years, and manage to save up enough money, then ABSOLUTELY buy a house. The feeling of homeownership is a sense of pride that is not easily duplicated. You get to decorate everything like you want (as a singleton), get to plant a garden (if you have a yard or get sunboxes for your windows), have much more privacy (no more hearing your neighbors get their groove thang on!), and have more space (yanno, for crafts 'n stuff).

Plus I got nosey and looked at listings in Tacoma, and there's like a huge spread in terms of price. I bet you could find something adorable in the neighborhood you want that would be comparable in monthly cost to whatever it is you're paying in rent right now.

you rock! i don't like Tacoma. my lease is up in 1.5 years, but if i buy a place before then, i won't need to worry about a bad rental history from bailing on my lease. i will move back to Seattle or down to Portland or to my dream city of Port Townsend before buying a house or living in Tacoma again. even though i love my apartment and neighborhood.
