We bought this place just as there was a real spike in prices.  If we'd 
waited 6 months to sell our old place we'd have gotten another $100,000. 
But, then we'd have paid another $100,000 for this place.  We made an offer 
on this place and with all the inspections etc. it was about 6 months before 
we got in.  Within 4 weeks the realtor was trying to get us to withdraw. 
She had other offers on the place at MUCH more than we had a signed contract 
on.  And by the time we actually got moved in the value was double what we 
paid for it.  Right now it is worth even more.

We haven't even talked to a realtor yet and we've already had a couple of 
inquiries.

We're technically, as the crow flies, 34 miles from I-5  and 100 miles from 
101.
