A lot of variables involved when it comes to houses etc.

Block wall houses( more in commerical buildings) arent very commen here& would be hard to find( not that there arent any) fireplaces depends on what type- full brick masonblock,custom riverrock, prefabs with( cheap or expensive tiles etc

The intown news paper just started delivering us a few(4?) weeks papers for free( i think there getting pretty desprate for business & may go the way of the dinobirds) just the other day- i can read up/keep up on the realestate adds some now.

We couldnt afford to live where we do now if we had to buy today & hadent gotten such a good price all those yrs ago now.
