You keep mentioning the 10.25% sales tax, it sound like you need to find a new city to live in :-) If you ever need a good agent, I know one in Wheaton! Our sales tax is 7.25%, but your property taxes will definately go up. I guess no place is perfect.
Haha, I know, I need to get over it, huh? I am still under the illusion that one day they'll come to their senses and get us back down in the single digits....
Sara,
Congrats on reaching the 50K mark! Please consider this your formal invitation to join the group The Activerain Bronze Star Hall of Fame! See you there.
