Yeah, when we bought, prices were going up every couple of weeks. Last time we checked - a couple of years ago - the house appraised at $215K. I suspect that the value has come down a bit since then. We have put our house on the market a couple of times in the past 18 months, but we didn't have any serious interest. So, we'll stay put for the next few years. A tiny 60-year-old Cape Cod on a tiny 50x100 lot. Funny, our house is on a 50x100 lot, as well. We bought our house when the lot was just dirt, and watched them build it. We don't look at it as small, we look at it as 'right sized'.  The nice thing for us is that we have a greenbelt behind us so only neighbors on either side. And, it's a quiet street with (surprisingly) lots of single folks.

Replying to: michaell (Jan 19, 2008 11:24 pm) Its just that I grew up on 2 acres surrounded by forest and gravel pit, so I am accustomed to space. Living in a neighborhood and seeing people just over the fence when you are outside on a summer evening drove me nuts. We had a soccer field for a grade school just behind us, but the neighbor on the one side was quite nosey AND noisey. Oh, and the old guy across the street who stood at his door and watched everything all the time was annoying, too. I think we were the only young married couple with no kids in the immediate area. it was just the wrong place for me. Nice enough neighborhood, but not my thing. Now I'm back where I hardly ever see other people when I'm outside, and that's just fine by me. |
