So back to talking about Morgantown, I knew that Morgantown was more expensive than many other parts of the state, but I hadn’t realized how much more expensive.

The Morgantown MSA Economic Monitor shows Morgantown as having a higher cost of living index than Charleston, Martinsburg, or even Pittsburgh. Which completely boggles my mind, since I thought Martinsburg was suppose to have the hottest housing market in the state.

Apparently not.

Now all things considered, I’m not saying we’re up there with big cities or anything like that, but we do have a higher index than several very large cities, namely, Houston, Atlanta, Cleveland, and St Louis.

But check out the article, it’s very interesting.

Maybe we need to finish fixing our house up just a little faster…
