45k! Wow, houses in West are about as cheap as the houses here. Then again, it's only 1 bedroom which has to be tiny. Maybe NOT such a good deal after all.

Out here on the East Coast a one bedroom like you described would run around $145,000.00

There is a lot going on in West by gawd, Texas. Thanks for the information. And our housing market is out of whack here so we can only dream about those kind of home prices.

Sometimes I think editors try to see what they can get away with in the paper.
