Hey Guys,

Quick question. I know we have skins fans all over the country. I'm kinda curious, does anyone know how buying a house is right now in other parts of the country? My roommate has been trying to buy since Feburary, and is currently 0-8 with bids. She's basically shooting for your typical starter house (about 250K in this area) and keeps losing everything. Mainly because other people are paying cash, which is always the best. She's regularly bidding ~20-30K over asking price and still losing.

The way I was hearing things on the news I was expecting her to walk in, toss 20 bucks on the table, and get a house! It's been a really long and tough process. Anyone else have stories on this? Is it different in other places?
