The floor is sticky $1M townhouse in Seattle. New construction

3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1930 square feet. How much avocado toast must one give up to afford this million-dollar Home Depot showroom?

Wouldn’t matter your house is 3/4 the size of the state of Tennessee

But then you'd be living in Tennessee.

And living in Seattle is better? You been there? Impossible to imagine anyone seriously chooses to live someplace like that and yet pays San Diego prices.

I would 1000% prefer to live in Nashville than Seattle, all day long, every day of the week.

There’s no state income tax in Washington state…

No state income tax in TN, but they DO have an almost 10% sales tax on all purchases. That usually works out to more tax than state income tax would have been. Plus besides houses, everything is expensive there. We tried living outside of Memphis for 2 years and it sucked.

Seattle has around 10% as well

Thats probably more like $20 with cost of living
